Choreographer's note: First things first - the music...I remember (and still dance)
to the original 1968 version by Tobi Legend..and Kylie had produced (in 1994) a
very passable though a bit 'cheesy' version. Second..the title. Well, this dance
(along with 'Price Of Love') was written in Manchester, England and Manchester is
one of the main enclaves of the cult music and dance dance phenomenon that is
called 'Northern Soul' (and has been that way since the mid to late 1960's). For
those not in 'the know' it's all about dancing to 'rare soul sounds' by obscure
singers from the 60's and 70's. The dances that accompany the music can be very
energetic and, in some cases, downright acrobatic. You will be glad to hear that
there are no 'back touches', 'cross over splits' or 'side turns with knee bends'
within this dance, but the base moves are. There are clubs worldwide dedicated to
this 'cult'. For my sins, this dance is pure self indulgence - and will not be
everybody's 'cup of tea'. The sequencing does appear daunting (could have been a
lot worse) and all that I can say is - just persevere and it WILL come good.
