HOLD ME

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (December 31st 2006)
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance (with single Bridge)
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me by Gloria Estefan-73 bpm (Greatest Hits 2 / Very Best Of / iTunes)
	Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me by Tommy Edwards-73 bpm (start on vocals)
	Don't Let This Moment End by Gloria Estefan-131 bpm (start on vocals)

Choreographer's note: One of my personal 'Desert Island Discs'. As for the Bridge. It isn't
tricky, but it could frustrate some dancers at first - just dance through at normal tempo.
If you wish to try the dance without the bridge, then I can recommend Tommy Edwards version
of the song. Which ever version you choose - just close your eyes and melt away.
For an up-tempo, non Bridged dance try the music 'Don't Let This Moment End' by Gloria Estefan.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'
