COUNT: 96
TYPE: 2 Wall Waltz Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Music Is The Key by Sarah Connor-168 BPM (Count in: Wait for Sarah to sing "music is the key" then count 6, start on main vocals, he will sing the word "people") (Sarah Connor Album)

For an advanced dance to this track see "Waltz Is The Key" by Max Perry

NOTE: We choreographed this dance after learning and teaching Max Perry's advanced waltz.
Knowing that not everyone in our classes wanted to do the advanced one but did like the music,
we did this one so that we could split the floor.

This dance is not phrased to the music.
For a dance that is phrased please look at "Waltz is the Key" Many thanks to Max Perry.
