CHOREOGRAPHER’s NOTE’s
Dedication: This dance is dedicated to Judi Harrington. She asked me to choreograph a dance to an Elton John song for her. The result was “La Femme Nikita”, I showed her the dance… her response was “Nikita” is the only Elton John song I don’t like… oh well back to the drawing board lol.
