Slow Burn
CHOREOGRAPHED MARCH 2004 BY KATHY HUNYADI, FLORIDA, USA
AND JOHN H. ROBINSON, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, USA
DESCRIPTION/DIFFICULTY/COUNTS/MOVEMENTS: 2-Wall Line Dance / Intermediate
/ 72 Counts / 88 Movements
SUGGESTED MUSIC: Fire—Des’ree (Duet with Babyface) (CD: “Supernatural”);
the song opens with the line, “You’re riding in my car”—start on the
word “car.” There is one restart: do two full repetitions
of the dance, then drop the last 8 counts on the third repetition and start
over. There is also an
alternate ending for the first repetition only (see below).
Also try: Slo Love—Janet Jackson (CD: “Damita Jo”), start 32 counts into
the track; drop the last 8
counts and do this as a 64-count dance to this song. (You
can drop the last 8 counts and do “Slow Burn” as a 64-count dance to any
song phrased in 32s.)
