CHOREOGRAPHER: Gloria Johnson - Daytona Beach, Florida

Choreographed at the request of Perfect Stranger and Curb Records - Nashville, Tenn.

NOTE: This is a fast, high energy dance, with very quick footwork, done in double time. Take VERY small steps! Begin the dance on the first word, 16 bass beats after the drum roll. The bass beat is 92 BPM, the snare drum is at 184 BPM. You will count the bass beat and dance to the snare drum
beat... that's why we like to say "You WILL hustle!"

ALSO: Perfect Stranger and their manager Danny Murphy are trying to convince the record label to release this song and the dance as the next single, but the label is leaning towards a fourth ballad (slow song).

If you like the dance, write a note to Curb Records, 47 Music Square East, Nashville, TN 37203 and let them know!!!
