THE ONLY WAY I KNOW

CHOREOGRAPHER: Derek Robinson (UK) (October 2001)
COUNT: 48
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: The Only Way I Know by Kenny Rogers-92 bpm (CD Across My Heart)

Note: This dance was choreographed originally for my wife.
We would both like to dedicate it to the people of America and other countries
who lost their lives in New York and Washington on that dreadful day in September
2001. It is "the only way we know" of expressing our sorrow through the Line
Dancing and Music that America gave to this country. And has given so much
pleasure to us all.
