Choreographers Note: It is now 20 years since I choreographed this dance,
to a song which has meant so much to me. At that point I lived in New Zealand ’til I moved to Melbourne in 2002.
In January 2001 in Tamworth, Australia, I received the award for “Australian Overseas Line Dance Of The Year”.
My Original Sheet had the timing written as 1, hold, 3, hold, & 5, 6, 7, 8. (64 count)
But now we recognise it more as 1, 2, a, 3, &, 4, & (32 count). The timing is the same throughout the dance.
