God Blessed Texas

Choreographed by Shirley K. Batson
Description: 32 count line dance
Alias: Little Texas Stomp
Music: "God Blessed Texas" by Little Texas
/The choreographer specifies that the introduction of the dance
starts after you hear one phrase of The Eyes of Texas Are Upon
You and then only after waiting another 16 counts. While waiting
to start dancing the introduction, you need to ignore a few
grace notes and only count the main beat. Regardless of the
length of the various recorded introductions, the main dance
must start with the vocals.
