This dance was written on impulse the night before Bill Bader’s workshop at Hervey Bay Qld. Australia
on 21st August 2004.  The first 24 counts is Bill’s 24-count line dance “Minute Waltz”. Jan added
24 counts to this dance, and hey presto…...we two choreographers have created “Two Minute Waltz”.
The song, by Vince Gill,  is beautiful and we hope you enjoy both the song and the dance.
