TENNESSEE WALTZ SUPREME by Ira Weisburd (USA)

From Ira:

"Rian Ungerer is a popular singer from South Africa. He recently contacted me to tell me that he had just finished recording a brand new CD and asked if I would like to choreograph another dance to one of his songs. I had already choreographed a Samba Line Dance earlier this year to his upbeat version of “Help Me Make It Through The Night” from his first “Timeless Hits” Album.

I have just written a dance to his cover of the classic “Tennessee Waltz”. It is one of the best renditions I have heard of this country classic !! "
