JUST OUT OF REACH
CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (March 3rd 2002) Fremantle, Australia
email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Just Out Of Reach by Patsy Cline-88 bpm ('Greatest Hits' plus many others)
I'm Pretending by George Ducas-110 bpm
He's Your Problem Now by Ruby Lovett-142 bpm
Choreographer's note: When I had completed the dance 'Quilt Of Dreams', I
felt that I needed to choreograph a dance to 'Just Out Of Reach', one of
the alternative pieces of music that I chose. I wanted the dance to able
to be done to a variety of tempos (to satisfy those with 'thirsty
feet'..and myself) and judging by the flexibility of tempos with the
couple of alternative pieces of music that I have chosen....I know that I
have succeeded. As for the 'rating' or dance 'level', it was felt that
because of the complexity of a couple of step combinations, it would have
to merit a higher rating than 'beginner'..you may disagree.
