COUNT: 32
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Loosen Up My Strings (Dance Mix) by Clint Black
	When The Wrong One Loves You Right by Wade Hayes

NOTE: This dance was originally written for the song "When The Wrong One Loves You Right" by Wade
Hayes in March of 1998. Gloria tested the dance at JR's Country Club and found her dancers had
trouble with it, so she shelved the dance. When she heard Clint Black's self-produced dance mix
for "Loosen Up My Strings", she resurrected the dance, rewrote it slightly to fit the new music
and tried again. This time her dancers liked it.
