SHAPPENS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: It Happens by Sugarland-90/180 bpm (Love On The Inside)

Choreographer's note: The short wall restart couldn't be helped - neither could putting
in the Mule Kick on counts 31&32 [he says with a smile on his face]. Not a 'new' move as
its been in a few other dances such as XROADS from 1997. As for the title... wellllllll,
as they say in the song " ..s**t(e) happens..."

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