I WILL SURVIVE

CHOREOGRAPHER: The Challengers (Tracey & Dave), UK
COUNT: 32 (+16 Count Tag at every 12:00 wall)
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: I Will Survive by Magill-130 BPM

Note: Dance starts abruptly on laser beam sounds after the words 'how
to get along' of the slowly sung introduction.

Tag: Start the dance with the tag then dance the tag again every time
you return to the front 12:00 wall. The music guides you; listen
for the laser beams shooting! The dance finishes on the tag and for
added effect end with feet apart and both arms outwards up in the air
for last two counts. Do the tag with attitude you are trying to survive!
