LITTLE WHITE LIES

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (February 14th 2003) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: Little Acts Of Treason by Carlene Carter-88 bpm (Little Acts Of Treason)

Choreographer's note: There is a case for using those little white lies in certain circumstances
- but one has to be very careful if emotions are involved. You could be well intentioned with
possible self sacrifice...but just who will come out of it the worse. Do you let 'sleeping dogs
lie' or do you 'come clean' and meet the backlash head on and possibly destroy a friendship
(loving or otherwise) for life. Only you, and you alone, can decide. The words within the song
says it all. This dance can be done with a number of songs that use a 'cha-cha' based rhythm and
are of between 86-100 bpm. There should also have been a short tag halfway through this dance,
but..............
