Dance: Favourite Thingz
Music: Favourite Things - The Big Brovas [single]; fast
Choreography & copyright: Tim Gauci, timgauci@ozemail.com.au; 6/2003
Level: Advanced
Walls: 2
Count: 48/32 (phrased) [waltz/4:4]
Bridge/restart: Two 4:4 time walls
Start: Feet together, weight on right foot. Starts on vocals (after
         the words "Buy me" - a really short intro)

Choreographer's note: This is an Advanced dance mainly because of the
speed, I’m sure you could try it to a country song if you don’t like
the Big Brovas music (which personally I think is fab). If a different
song is used you don’t have to stress about the bridge.

There are two times (walls 7 and 10) in the Big Brovas song where the
music changes to 4:4 time. During these two walls count the beats as
1&2, 3&4 etc. The steps remain the same, they are just counted
differently. Thus 1-3,4-6,7-9,10-12 becomes 1&2,3&4,5&6,7&8 and so
forth. This makes the 7th & 10th walls 32 counts each. You could dance
through these walls in waltz time but it feels awkward.
