TRAVELIN' BAND
CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone
COUNT: 48
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Travelin' Band by Credence Clearwater Revival-167 bpm (The Best Of / many compilations)
Dance phrasing:- 48 - 48 - 48 - 32 - 48 - 32 - 48 - 16 [finish]
Choreographer's note: Sorry about the two restarts, which could not be helped - but as this tune
is so well known by so many I feel that the phrasing will present very few problems [if any].
Both restarts occur with the short instrumental breaks. Such is the nature of the dance, some
dancers WILL fluff their steps... so!!. Que sera sera.. live a little.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'
Dance starts on vocals with feet together and weight on both feet
