MY LOVE TO YOU

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) December 24th 2001, Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 38 + 1 Restart
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: All I Have To Offer You Is Love by Tanya Tucker-98 bpm ('Complicated')

Choreographer's notes: This is such a short dance for such a long -
nearly 5 minutes - song, but oh what a beautiful, soulful song, that is
done in such a subdued almost exhausted passion that it makes time seem
unimportant. Along with 'Valentines Day' by Steve Earle (which I rate as
one of the most poignant love songs EVER written) I could listen to this
and just drift away for a long, long time......then again some people
would say that I don't need music to drift away..ummmmm..? Isn't it
strange that the songs that have so much impact on us are the songs that
we can relate to either as one fleeting moment within time or as a
continuem throughout our daily lifes. When replayed they can secure the
most hurtful of responses and yet at the same time, can produce the most
cherished and warmest of feelings.....you don't think I'm showing my
'soft' side a bit too much do you ?

Dance style: The rhythm of the dance is such that after every third count
there is a very slight pause before the fourth count. This does not
effect, in any way the timing of the dance.
