Choreographers Note: 
This dance was originally choreographed for Michigan singer, Janis 
Leigh and her song Dance With A Stranger, off her CD "This Little 
Girl". Kelvin had the pleasure of meeting Janis and brought me a 
copy of her CD. Kelvin & I choreographed two dances for Janis: 
"Sooner or Later" for Dance With A Stranger, and "Bad Habit" for
Two Many Times of Two Timin' Me. 

"Sooner or Later" can be danced to a variety of tempos. For those 
who would like a nice slow-ish cha cha, try it to Big House's Love 
Ain't Easy or Sunday in Memphis. Sunday In Memphis is the dancers' 
favourite song , and it is my favourite as well. For a more mid 
tempo dance, try Janis' Dance With A Stranger. For a faster workout,
the favourite is Big House's Whose Baby Will You Be Tonight. Enjoy.

Peter
