Dance starts after the 24 count intro on the word 'give' as in 'If I GIVE my heart to you tonight.."
Choreographers note:- Ideally suited for the experienced Advanced Beginner dancer who has just moved into the Intermediate level.
This is a 'soft' waltz - not a 'military two step'. Soften the edges - let your mind and not just your body, feel the music.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
