Phrased Intermediate
Phrasing:- A-A-A(16)-B-Tag-A-A-A(16)-B-A(16)-B-A(16)
Choreographers note:- As the music is so well known, the phrasing will come quite naturally to most dancers.
The music is soft and warm – treat the dance steps in the same relaxed way.
A lot of people have their own favourite Bee Gee’s song – this has always been mine.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts on the first word – ‘There’s a light…’
