Once in a while (if you're lucky enough) you come across a piece of music that grabs you immediately. It could be a new song or even an old one that just feels "new" !! Here is a song that will brighten your darkest day. It is called "SWEET HEAVEN" (I'm In Love Again) by Barry Manilow. Everything from the song to the lyrics to the orchestration will have you singing along and dancing from the very first bar!! You will feel like you're dancing on air!! That might sound a little old fashioned or hokey, but it has "ROMANCE" written all over it !! It is a beautiful SMOOTH FOXTROT with that CLASSIC/ BIG BAND/ BROADWAY feel. Here is a Group Demo of it at Stella Cabeca's Class in Tamarac, Florida: It is a 2 Wall, Beginner Line Dance (No Tags, No Restarts !!!!).
