BIG GREEN MONSTER WALTZ CHOREOGRAPHER: Jodi Wittman COUNT: 48 TYPE: 1 Wall Line Dance LEVEL: Advanced Beginner/Beginning Intermediate MUSIC: Stars Over Texas by Tracy Lawrence-96bpm Rock 'N' Roll Waltz by Scooter Lee-102bpm Tucson Too Soon by Tracy Byrd-104bpm Their Hearts Are Dancing by Forester Sisters-110bpm Any other waltz between 90-110bpm Note: Everyone should start in one (or two, depending on the floor space) line, with dancers shoulder to shoulder, facing either the front or back wall. It helps create a kaleidoscope effect. AKA Baseball Waltz. There are several other dances with the baseball theme, so I tried a new name. Picture a baseball diamond when dancing or teaching.
