This dance was written on impulse the night before Bill Bader's workshop at
Hervey Bay Qld. Australia on 21st August 2004. The first 24 counts is Bill's
well known 24-count line dance "Minute Waltz" By adding 24 counts to
this dance, we two choreographers have created "Two Minute Waltz".

The song, by Vince Gill, is beautiful and we hope you enjoy both the song and the dance.
See you on the floor sometime......... Jan
