ROCK N' WALTZ (..the muxed up dance..)

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (February 24th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: Phrased - Part A (The Rock) 48 counts, Part B (The Waltz) 12 + 2 counts
TYPE: 1 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: I Gotta Know by Rosie Flores (split tempo & rhythm) ('Rosie Flores')

Dance Sequence:- A. B. A. B. AAA. B. A. B. finale.

Choreographer's note: In the past I have used at least a couple of the
tracks from this album as 'alternative' music choices for some of my
dances. The music changes from 'Rock' to 'Waltz' are very obvious and
should present no problems to anybody. The music for Ann Chew's dance
'Nobody Wins' is also available on this album...so there are now three
good reasons to go out and buy it, (the first reason being that its a
very good album in its own right). Dedicated to all those dancers who
havent lost their sense of humour...or imagination and also for dancers
who would not like to choose between Rock n' Roll and the Waltz as being
their favourite. I have referred to the 'dance finish' as a 'finale'
because the music change at the end is so short and radical..it feels
somewhat 'vaudeville-ish'....and therefore 'finale' seems to sit better.
