CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: This dance owes a lot to Lisa
Foord of Peninsular Bootscooters in Sydney. Lisa spent hours dancing it
with me whilst I put it together, & helped considerable with both the
styling and "attitude" - thanks Lisa & thanks also to
Sue Byrnes - who bullied me into doing "The Rose" In the first
place.
