Raindrops For Perfidia was inspired by Louie St George when he suggested the music "Perfidia"
for the dance "Raindrops" which I choreographed to "Raindrops' by Dee Clark. Although many
prefer Perfidia, it was not a perfect fit. So "Raindrops For Perfidia" was born; I left the
first 32 counts of "Raindrops" intact and added a 1/2 count at the end turning 1/4 to Right.
Now there's "Raindrops" to the song Raindrops by Dee Clark (perfectly phrased, 40 count dance
with an 8 count tag - listed on kickit) and then there's. "Raindrops For Perfidia" a perfect
fit to an awesome instrumental piece. Enjoy it and thank you Louie.

If you liked it, please pass it on; if not, thanks for giving it a try.
