This dance isn’t as hard as it looks, once you are familiar with song, you will find its easier to marry the sequence up with the music. I like to think of Part C is the Nightclub part and the ‘my love, my love, my love’. Part B is the ‘turn around part. Part A is the piano ding part where I focused on the musicality of the piano chords.
