Heave Away
Choreographed by Gerard Murphy

Description: 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate line dance
Music: Heave Away by The Fables
Note: The Fables are a new Celtic group from Newfoundland, Canada. Heave Away can be found on their CD or on the compilation CD titled Ceilidh Collection
Note: Heave Away is dedicated to all the dancers I've taught and danced with from my home province of Newfoundland, Canada - from Port aux Basques all the way to Shea Heights! You keep me focused on the fun and always provide a little taste of home when we're together. It's right some special to be plankin' 'er down wit' ya! CHEERS!
