   Signature Song:  "Like We Never Had A Broken Heart" by Trisha Yearwood (76 bpm)
  on 2 cd's: "Trisha Yearwood" and "Songbook - A Collection Of Hits".
   Please note the slow tempo of this song. It is my intention to offer smooth flowing choreography
   to match the feel of this slow, incredibly beautiful song. The rhythm pattern in each 8-count is
   different and will take some getting used to, but this guarantees a strong match with the music.
   A word of caution to instructors:  Your challenge will be to keep the walk-throughs slow enough.

  Intro: 16 counts ("Don't be afraid to hold me START.)
   Alternate song:  "Drops of Jupiter" by Train, CD: Drops Of Jupiter
