DON'T YOU DARE 
 
CHOREOGRAPHER: The Finleys, Providence, RI (401) 353-6407
COUNT: Phrased (Counts Vary) 
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance 
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: Drink, Swear, Steal, and Lie by Michael Peterson
 
NOTE: As much as we dislike phrased dances, this song is so great that 
one had to be written. The verse is 80 counts long, and there are 4 1/4
CCW turns in the pattern (A). The chorus (B) pattern precedes a short 
bridge (C), which changes slightly at the ending depending the 
position of the dance. Dance should begin the count before the lyrics 
begins. The starting point will feel quite natural.
