THE ROAD

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (November 27th 2003) email: williamsevone@yahoo.com
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Beginner
MUSIC: On The Road Again by Canned Heat-131 bpm (The Very Best Of / many compilations)

Choreographer's note: There is only one area which may present itself as a problem to the
beginner and that is the half turn after the severe cross rock of count 17 (and subsequent step).
Therefore I have introduced an alternative which some dancers may be more comfortable with.
There are no '&' counts within the dance, but as the music is deceptively fast you would be
forgiven in thinking that you may have mis-read the dance script.

Dance starts on the vocals after the 14 count Bass driven intro
with feet together and weight on left
