Choreographer;- 	Phil Johnson – Bridlington, England. July 2007.
		– 07989 176525 ~ partyzone@wymingbrook.co.uk    
Description 	64 Count, Two wall Intermediate Line Dance. (Restart on wall Three after count 24)
Music: 		Blue Tango - Amanda Lear. CD "Amanda Lear – The Collection." Or "Sing Evergreens" or "Amanda 98" - 
		each available from Amazon. Also available from iTunes. Intro 8 counts (120bbm)
Note: 	The tempo of a Tango usually slows down then speeds up slightly. Slow walks and faster turns. 
	Dwell on the slow walks and turn with passion. No looking at the floor, head held high, straight back. 
	If the dancer beside you is of the opposite sex and does not wish to turn their head (counts &8; &16) 
	then when you do, wink… flirt, (you may just catch their eye!) its all part of the passion of the Tango.
