SUDDENLY ALONE
CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (October 23rd 2002) Fremantle, Australia
email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 64
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Suddenly by LeAnn Rimes-125 bpm ('Twisted Angel')
Choreographer's note: I like the album, though LeAnn's 'country' image is
disappearing 'over the hills and far far away'. The dance itself will allow the
dancer to experiment with the odd embellishment and, providing it is not
detrimental to the dance in its original form, I openly encourage. The movements
within the 'Dance notes' not only add style but are an integral part of the dance.
Dance starts 16 counts after the initial intro with the drum beats and just prior to the vocals.
