Coyote Love - Laurie Schlekeway-Burkhardt (US) - December 1999

Step Sheet

Sequence:

A, B, A, B, A, last 16 counts of A

Because the first refrain is so slow and without a beat, I've choreographed it to start on the second refrain. This is where the beat of the song really begins. It will be 56 counts into the song that you actually start
