Variations: No Variations

Suggested Dance Style: A very expressive dance. All movements should be
performed with excitement and expression in both upper and lower body
movements. Syncopated steps should be sharp and quick, the 'side-slide'
combination should be elongated and expressive. Hand claps can be added
to accentuate the dance, upper body movements are encouraged to add to
the excitement of the dance.

Comments: Slide Slidin' Boomerang was choreographed for the Cowichian Goes
Country dance workshop in Mill Bay B.C., Canada May, 1994, to Rick Trevino's
song - Just Enough Rope. The song that the dance is "best" performed to is
Jimmy Buffet's song Boomerang Love. The syncopated steps of the dance
perfectly match the syncopated rhythm of the song. A perfect match!!
