| Please
note this dance option: When I was choreographing this dance, I also
found a great song which this dance can be done to, but the phrasing of
"Blacktop Boogie" calls for additional steps. So as not to confuse the
two versions, I named them with different names. "Blacktop Boogie" is on
my website, billbader.com. I think "Blacktop Boogie" will appeal to those
who want more challenge, or for those who will not try "Vegas Boogie" because
they have already done a different line dance to "Gettin' in the Mood".
