Hideaway Cha

Choreographed by Joanne Brady, Jamie Davis, Jo Thompson 

Description: 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate line dance

Music: Dance With Me by Debelah Morgan
       Some Things Never Change by Tim McGraw
       You Ain't Hurt Nothin' Yet by John Anderson
       It Must Be Love by Alan Jackson
       Something To Write Home About by Craig Morgan

Note: The dance works best if you start after 8 counts on the word "dance". 
If not, you can wait 40 counts and then start. The song is not perfectly phrased, 
but the syncopated sailors will go with words "and dance the night away" almost 
every time. This song is based on the classic melody "Hernando's Hideaway", 
thus the name of the dance.
