Type: 32 counts, intermediate+ level, 2-wall dance.
Begin: 48 count intro. Begin on the word "Night"
Music: "Private Emotion" by Ricky Martin. CD:
"Ricky Martin" 73 bpm (Treat it as 146 bpm)
"Stay Forever" by Hal Ketchum. CD: "Every Little
Word" 68 bpm (Treat it as 136 bpm)
"Tell Me I Was Dreaming" by Travis Tritt CD:
"Greatest Hits" 72 bpm (Finish dance 3 1/2 minutes into
song.)
Note: The timing of the first eight counts is tricky at
first, but well worth the effort! In order to avoid typing the
sheet as 1&2&3&4& right the way through, I have
treated the music as being 146 bpm. i.e. double time.
It may make it easier to think of Quicks and Slows, shown as QQS,
SQQ etc.
