Slow Burn

Description72 Counts. 2 Wall Line Dance
Level: Intermediate
Choreographer:
Kathy Hunyadi & John H Robinson
Music: Des’ree: Fire
The song opens with the line, “You’re riding in my car”—start on the word “car.” There is one restart:: do two full repetitions of the dance, then drop the last 8 counts on the third repetition and start over. There is also an alternate ending for the first repetition only (see below). Also try: Slo Love—Janet Jackson (CD: “Damita Jo”), start 32 counts into the track; drop the last 8 counts and do this as a 64-count dance to this song. (You can drop the last 8 counts and do “Slow Burn” as a 64-count dance to any song phrased in 32s.)
