TIME IS TIGHT

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (June 13th 2002)
COUNT: Phrased
TYPE: Phrased Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced
MUSIC: Time Is Tight by Booker T & The M.G's-142 bpm (Best Of~/many compilations)

Dance and Wall Sequence:
56(6) - 56 (12) - 32(3) - 56 (9) - 56+TAG (3) - 32 (6) - 56 (12) - 56 (6) - 16 (12)

Choreographer's note: Because of the complexity of the phrasing, the variety of the step
combinations and the sheer velocity of the dance its best suited to established Intermediate
(new level) dancers who have just moved up into the Advanced level arena. With this dance,
you will really have to think on your feet. Reformatted 27.12.05

Dance starts after 16 counts as the organ comes in after the drum bangs.
