ELUSIVE DREAMS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (September 6th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: My Elusive Dreams by Moses & Joshua Dillard-134 bpm ('The Twisted Wheel Story')

- this album is available within Europe and the USA only
- but can be ordered through the usual sources.

Choreographer's note: Once again, please indulge an old man with a long
memory......The continuation continues (theme of the dance 'Northern Soul' ). Again
(as with the dance 'Getting Closer..!') I have used many of the step combinations
that were used in the 'off the cuff' (ad-lib) dances from that period...I hope
nobody thought that the step combinations they do today came about with the advent
of modern Line Dancing !!. Again I have also used the genuine music of the day
(which may be a little hard to obtain). As this particular song has been 'covered'
by many, many Country artistes at various tempos, you may wish to use one of those
instead...if you find one that you are happy with then be my guest and use it. A
driving beat was just one of the mainstays to true 'Northern Soul' music...and I
enjoy it as much now as I did then (all those years ago...shudder!!).

RESTARTS: There are two restarts within this dance, each after count 24 of the 5th and 8th walls
Restart sequence being: 32-32-32-32-24-32-32-24-32
It would have been quite 'legitimate' to have created a 24 count tag instead of the
restarts.... but the steps for the tag was so weird (but not to officiado's of
'Northern Soul' ) that I decided to stick with the 'restarts'

DANCE FINISH: The dance will finish during the music fade out at the end of the 9th
wall, replace counts 31& 32 with the following -

31-32	Turn 1/4 right and step right to right side, Touch left toe next to right
	On count 32 place right hand to hat brim and left hand on left hip
