Description: |
32 count, 2 wall,
intermediate/advanced line dance |
|
Music: |
Fallin' by
Alicia Keys [ CD: Songs in A Minor ] |
The music has a timing that
feels like a very fast waltz (6/8 timing). However, the dance is not a waltz. I
am counting it using "rolling triples" as in 1&a, 2&a,
3&a, 4&a, 5&a, 6&a, 7&a, 8&a, etc. The a is pronounced
"ah"

Option: there is an optional
extra turn on 8&a. It will be very quick, so keep the steps very small. On
count 8, turn an extra ¼ right to step forward on right foot instead of side
with right foot. On the &, turn ½ right, step back
on left. On the a, turn ¼ right step right to right
side. Whether you do the extra turn or not, you should still end facing the
front.

REPEAT
When using the song "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys, start counting on the word
"out", wait a 16 count intro, then start the dance on the word
"good". Remember: because of the rolling triple rhythm, the count of
5, 6, 7, 8 will be very slow. At the end of the song,
you will finish facing the front. Do a large step to the right and drag for a
finish. Good luck!
