The count of this dance is in compound meter, which means the beats are actually subdivided into 3 parts (1&a, 2&a, etc.) rather than two. It is not a waltz, because there are four beats in each measure of music. With the exception of the last 4 counts, the steps are all danced on the first and third subdivisions of each beat. As a result of this, you should feel a 'long, long, short, long...' type pattern as you dance it
