PM ROLL

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (December 24th 2006)
COUNT: 32
TYPE: Phrased 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Proud Mary by The Checkmates Ltd-142 bpm (many compilations / iTunes)
	Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival-122 bpm (non phrased dance)

Choreographer's note: The dance is extremely tight and energetic. The music, a full throttle
vibrant gospel tour de force. The phrasing is created by four short walls (4,8 and 12) of 28
counts. For a non-phrased version of this dance, Proud Mary by CCR (phrased differently and
slower) is ideal...you could even use The Checkmates version. The choice, as always - is yours.
Just 'feel' the music.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'
Dance starts on vocals with feet together and weight on left

Notes for 'Pony' section:-
Style note: All counts (not including '&') raise/hitch knee whilst moving slowly forward
Fun note: Reverse arm action by having lines doing alternate arms movements
i.e.: Line one 25-26 arms down... line two arms up - create a 'wave' pattern
