COUNT: 48

LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate

Choreographer's note:- This is the second track from the album that I have used to choreograph a dance
to, the first one being Valentine Moon by Sam Brown. This dance contains quite a lot of basic step
combinations - with a couple of tricky ones thrown in for good measure - and all done at a quick gallop
on a pretty tight course.

Dance starts on the vocals with feet together and weight on left
