SO COOOOL

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (March 24th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 36 (+ 32 count optional intro)
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress by Hollies-136 bpm ('Greatest Hits'/many compilations)

Warning: Avoid 'Electronically enhanced' versions of this track.
Stereo versions are not bad. Mono versions are best.

Choreographer's note: This song was recorded in the Hollies 'Creedance Clearwater Revival/Sweet/Led Zeppelin'
period of 1972-1975, but whatever the period you cannot mistake the distinctive vocals of Allan Clarke.
The musical phrasing goes a little 'off' during and just after the instrumental break, but by staying
with the 36 count it works out fine.
