****************************

Along with True Faith '94 by New Order, this 1993 Rapino Bros. remix of Temptation was one of my favourite pop-dance tracks when I was growing up, and it probably helped me get into other genres of dance in a big way!  If this remix had been from the 80s, I'd have probably made this my judged entry as I love the song so much, but the original version from the 1980s has a more motown feel to it and doesn't quite sound right for me!

STEP INFO...

BEGINNER - 1 footer, 99 Tap Steps / 1 Hold Steps

Same as ever - pretty straight forward.

LIGHT - 3 footer, 135 Tap Steps / 6 Hold Steps

Straight forward 4th steps for the majority of this set, but watch out for a tricky section of 8ths which pick out the synchopation in the vocals.  Apart from that, it's plain sailing.

STANDARD - 5 footer, 267 Tap Steps / 18 Hold Steps

From the word go, these steps are quite full-on.  A mixture of freezes, jumps and 8ths mainly follow the vocals, but on the whole the steps have a logical progression to them.  A tough 5 footer that borders on being and easy 6...

HEAVY - 7 footer, 340 Tap Steps / 13 Hold Steps

All the usual suspects are here - crossovers, 16ths to highlight the synchopation and long 8th sections.  Also look out for some tricky sequences that may require pivots or half-turns to maintain the flow...

CHALLENGE - 8 footer, 399 Tap Steps / 12 Hold Steps

These steps gave me the opportunity to go to town in terms of 16ths and half-turns/spins are concerned.  The voltage is pretty high throughout, and you'll have to listen closely to the background rhythms to be able to pick out the synchopation...
