KEEP ON ROLLING

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (January 13th 2007)
		Email: taylormademusic@yahoo.com
COUNT: Phrased
TYPE: 1 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Proud Mary by Ike & Tina Turner-102-174 bpm (3m 20sec original single version)

Dance sequence:- AA-B-C-DDDdDDDdD (d - denotes short wall/vanilla)

Choreographer's note: PM ROLL - with a wicked twist !!. The intro says what this dance is all
about - 'Starts easy - and finishes rough'. The music is the pure, raw vitality - the kind that
only Tina Turner and the Ikettes could ever produce. The original short single version is the
recommended music. The later, longer versions can be used (see end of script) but, really just
doesn't have the same 'punch'. The original version is available on some sites. If you have any
problems in locating it - use the email contact above.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'
Dance starts 40 seconds in - after the spoken intro, feet slightly apart
