This partner dance was inspired by and written as a companion dance to the line dance Take Your Time choreographed by Charlie Bowring, Susan Duncan, Rob Fowler, and I.C.E. (April 2021). We wish to thank these choreographers for their support and encouragement and look forward to seeing these two dances being taught and danced together. Dancers will note a significant similarity in steps between the two dances. This was done deliberately, and with approval of the Take Your Time choreographers, in order to maintain the mood, look and feel when the two dances are danced at the same time.
