Choreographer’s note:

The parts of this dance are the same as the 48 count When Love’s Right waltz 

I felt there was a need for a shorter, easier dance, a dance that can be done t

 a wide range of waltz music with or without extras

I worked on this for some time and could not decide quite whether to make 4 or 2 wall

Lana suggested putting in a 3rd twinkle with a ¼ turn to make it 2 wall.

This keeps it fairly simple and compact and with sufficient differences in to make it interesting
