Description: 48-count, 1-wall, fun and easy intermediate, line dance
Music: Dance With Me Tonight, The Wonders 144BPM, CD: That Thing You Do! Soundtrack, (Real Audio clip)
Choreographer's Note: This particular song does not have a musical intro - the song starts immediately with the lyrics "Come On Pretty Baby". Make sure you start this dance as the artist sings the word "Baby".
Phrasing: In order for the dance and song to remain in phrase, simply drop heel swivels for counts 5,6,7,8 from Section F, the fourth time through ONLY. Therefore, the fourth time through the dance you will Swivel both heels left, hold; Swivel both heels right, hold...and then start the dance over from the beginning.
