CHOREOGRAPHER: Gerard Murphy (Revised: February 17, 2006) Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
		(902) 826-7076, murphydance@ns.sympatico.ca
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance (Hustle Type Rhythm)
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC:  Power Of Love by Donna Summer (Starts best after 64 counts in) (CD: So Amazing - An All Star Tribute To Luther Vandross)
	Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire-130 BPM (Preferred)
	Venus by Bananarama-124 BPM
	Le Freak by Chic-119 BPM (Teach)
	Best Of My Love by The Emotions-115 BPM

Note: Yes...this step sheet looks different! It is a 32 count dance, but it makes better sense
when teaching it to break it down as written, rather than in typical sets of eight.
Dancers will find it helpful to count '& 1,2,3' throughout the song.
