DESCRIPTION: 4 Wall Line Dance

COUNTS: Phrased (Counts Vary)
DIFFICULTY: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: "Drink, Swear, Steal, and Lie" by Michael Peterson
NOTE: As much as we dislike phrased dances, this song is so great
that one had to be written. The verse is 80 counts long, and there are
4 CCW turns in the pattern (A). The chorus (B) pattern precedes a short
bridge (C), which changes slightly at the ending depending the
position of the dance. Dance should begin the count before the lyrics
begins. The starting point will feel quite natural.

We loved this song for the first time we heard it --- but could not
figure out a dance to do to the song -- so we wrote one !!! (Our first).
We have called the dance "Don't You Dare". Comments are appreciated !!!
