Choreographer's note: Little Anthony and Co are still fondly remembered in many parts of the world mainly for the song they recorded,
a few years before this one, in 1958..'Tears On My Pillow' (and quite a few years before Kylie's version). The music I have used for this
dance is quite awkwardly phrased, so I decided to keep it as 'clean' as possible by using 36 counts. The hand claps are optional - but they
do add atmosphere to the music. This is another of those 'Northern Soul' memory jerkers that makes you want to get up and dance.
It also makes me smile because it has such a 'happy time' feel to it and I have tried to convey this feeling into the dance.
Though if you are not over fond of the original music there is a fair choice of others listed below. Dance starts after the 28 count intro,
on the vocals, with feet together and weight on left
