EAST WEST EXPRESS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (July 24th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32 + 1 Restart
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Indian Pacific by Slim Dusty-101/202 bpm (europe 'A Piece Of Australia' /r.o.w 'Very Best Of'/'On The Move')

Choreographer's note: Slim Dusty....what can you say, the man is a legend in his
own lifetime - and deservingly so. The man is a walking storybook of Australian
life who started making records in 1942 - and is still at it 50 years later. His
appearance and singing at the closing of the Sydney Olympics put as lump in every
Australians throat. I tip my hat to the man. I would not know where to begin in
suggesting alternate music as this dance would be able to carry a range of tempo's
and more than a couple of base rhythm's. So if, for whatever reason, you havent got
the choreographed music, just take your pick and dance away.
