Goodbye to Fear
Count:
16
Wall:
2
Level:
Easy Intermediate
Choreographer:
Debra Cleckler (USA) - August 2018
Music:
The Breakup Song - Francesca Battistelli
Music is 6/8 time, but the rolling count is used for this dance. - (No Tags/Restarts)
The Breakup song is a beautiful song about breaking up with the fear in our lives. The fear that holds us back from obtaining our full potential. The message is great, and the music is awesome. I hope you enjoy it. And never let fear control you!
Intro is about 16 counts: She is singing “sick and tired……”, you will hear a bold ‘Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom’, start on the fourth “boom”.
