HIDDEN TEARS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (October 22nd 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: I'm So Happy, I Can't Stop Crying by Toby Keith with Sting-147 bpm ('Dream Walkin'/'Greatest Hits')

Choreographer's note: Not everyone shows their emotions to the World. They keep it
bottled up inside themselves - hoping that in time, the hurt will fade. In the
meantime they 'carry on as normal' - smiling with hidden tears in their eyes. The
dance has a similar rhythm to a two-step and you will use both the up and the down
beats - making this dance quite fast.
