Close Encounters
Choreographer : Bill Bader // 604-684-2455 [email protected]
Description : 2 Wall Contra Line Dance, 24 Counts, Upper Beginner / Low Intermediate Level
First Place Winner: Golden Gate Classic "BEST LINE DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY"
Music : "MOVE IT ON OVER" by Hank Williams Jr. (102 bpm) CD: Tribute To My Father . Start with the words.
For a brilliant cover, look for Sean Kenny’s version (UK). Caution: Versions of this song done by
singers other than Hank Jr. or Sean Kenny (like the Hank Sr. version), have unsuitable tempos.
Other song ideas : Slow (for teaching) : "Tonight We Just Might Fall In Love Again" by Hal Ketchum ( 92 bpm)
Alternate Medium : “No One Else On Earth" by Wynonna (100 bpm)
Alternate Fast : "No News" by Lonestar (120 bpm)
Choreographer's Notes : This choreography stems from my work on Sting’s music video, "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop
Crying". But that song is not recommended. (Sorry, Sting!) In the video, we Earthlings are line dancing with aliens
- close encounters of the dance kind. As in the video, the dance is designed to be done in contra position...
CONTRA Starting Position : Lines apprx. 4-6 feet apart, dancers facing and off-set.
Close Encounters features a “box around someone” in the opposite line. This is really fun to teach, especially when some
dancers make for some "close encounters" of the wrong kind! Ppoint out that dancers should not “force” anything to
happen -- if you do the steps correctly, they will take you to where you need to go. The person to the right of the gap
across from you is the one you will box around. On the second pass there is a different “right hand partner”..

Side Shuffle to left side: L-R-L stepping side-together-side. In contra lines, dancers will pass
through the opposite line leading with the left shoulder.
&
Move R in beside L (almost a Touch) while turning 1/4 right. (Good cue “Turn to face”) (12:00)

Start with R hand clapping downward and L hand clapping upward as if you are clashing cymbals together.
