Additional notes:
Music: I use about 20 seconds of a gypsy melody intro as the initial introduction to this performance. I use another piece from a gypsy song as the finishing music after G,T&T’s fade out. I could have cut Cher’s original version of this song to avoid deviations in the routine, but it is worth it to learn it with the tag and restarts, her song flows so well and is too familiar to want to change it. Director’s preference of course…

Performers are positioned in a semi-circle - distance apart depends on number of performers, space available, convenience for audience viewing. Each individual has his/her own 12:00 due to the angles they are at on the floor facing the audience. Dancers are mostly facing 12:00 with chorus facing 12:00 and 9:00 with a token nod to 3:00 (styling B 3:1-3) Any in class not in the dance itself are positioned in the center behind the semi-circle - sitting around a “fire” during the verses and dancing triple steps in beat around the fire during the choruses.

Please do not alter this step sheet in any way. If you would like
to use on your website please make sure it is in its original
format and include all contact details on this script.

This One wall line dance was choreographed as a performance piece for a Winter 2015 Event (yes, a PARTY!!) The participating dancers will have easy access to this via Copperknob and YouTube to practice at home as well as in class. If you wish to use this for a performance at your venue - feel free to email me with any questions - I would love to have this used in addition to our party :-)
~Bobbey Note: my email is on the stepsheet :-)

It is truly for a high beginner, very easy steps - but with the phrasing I had to label it Improver.

Email me details - we will come watch!

I want to thank again Ms Sarah Collins for her cover on Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves - this was the music I used in the demo and teach videos. She did a very good video of this - check out her other song covers on youtube! thx again, Ms Collins! ~Bobbey

BTW - there are a lot of versions online of Cher singing this song. The one I used when choreographing it is from iTunes I purchased as a single - but from Cher's 1998 album called" Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" The cover of this song you hear in the demo and teach videos above are both by Sarah Collins - she sings it just as Cher did for this single. Often the live show versions added or removed parts of the chorus medley.... The error in the section headline of B3 will be corrected soon. Disregard and follow the descriptive steps 1-8. Questions or comments shoot me an email - thx!
