BELIEVE IT OR NOT

CHOREOGRAPHER: Tara Henton (UK) (April 2004) henton_t@yahoo.com
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: I Believe In You by Don Williams-79 bpm (start with the lyrics on the word "don't")

Note about the counting:
The count of this dance is in compound meter, which means the beats are actually subdivided into
3 parts (1&a, 2&a, etc.) rather than two. It is not a waltz, because there are four beats in each
measure of music.

With the exception of the last 4 counts, the steps are all danced on the first and third
subdivisions of each beat. As a result of this, you should feel a 'long, long, short, long...'
type pattern as you dance it.
