Well, top UK Choreographed by Chris Hodgson has been inspiration
again! First it was her shower where I came up with the steps to
the dance "Out of Habit" and now it's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" which was
choreographed in her kitchen, dining room & laundry room.
Thanks Chris. One of these days we will get to choreograph a
dance together!!

Dance as written for the first 3 walls. On the 4th wall
(right side wall) end with the jazz box to face the front
wall (omit the final 8 counts 33-40) & then start the dance
from the beginning to keep the dance phrasing properly.
Enjoy & have fun!
