Choreographers note:- This is one of those pieces of music that will never go away, as perennial as the grass.
If correctly phrased to the music, the dance would have required a number of Restarts and Short Walls.
This would have created a higher (Advanced) level of dance – and fewer dancers to enjoy the music.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts on the vocal with feet together and weight on the right.
