| Let?s Dance it again! |
|
| RESTART: 4th wall. Finish the 3 syncopated crosses in section 19-24, and then restart the dance with - & 1 - on the back wall. |
& 1 | (&) Step R next to left (facing 6 o?clock) |
|
| * Note: Those syncopated steps (&4,&5,&6) in Section 19-24 can be changed to a 1 ¼ rolling vine (full turn only for the restart wall). Especially the first two walls. This would slow the dance into classic waltz steps. Choose what is good for you. |
| Note: There is not enough room to write some of the subtleties ? breaks & endings ? so please contact me for those notes. |
| Note of appreciation: Back in the late 90?s Terry Hogan choreographed Sweet Temptations to this song and I have always been taken by it (his dance and the song). It was time to listen to the song again and see what new steps came of it. There is a lot of Hogan influence in the dance. He still is and will always be one of the best. |
