Music: The dance was choreographed specifically for slow songs. Lots of ideas:
"SPRINGTIME IN ALBERTA" by Ian Tyson ( 94 bpm) (Probably my favourite, but difficult to find outside Canada.)
"ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM" by The Everly Brothers (106 bpm)
(The Everly Bros. did many versions, some too slow. This one is on Everly Brothers All-Time Greatest Hits, Curb D2-77311)
"DREAM WALKIN'" - Toby Keith (added 1998)
"Walkin' After Midnight" by Patsy Cline ( 94 bpm)
...or try your own favorite slow song.
