IMPORTANT NOTES The Official music seems to be available everywhere from what we can tell, but in certain countries there are copyright issues related to using the music in a YouTube video. For instance in the US there seems to be NO problem using the official music and making a YouTube video. This is not true everywhere. The main music we are using works well with youTube everywhere.
We do suggest using the official music to perform and learn the dance, but both music versions are identical as far as the dance is concerned. The official music only has a 32 count intro and ends 32 counts sooner.
Here is the sequence for the OFFICIAL MUSIC - : A,B-,A,B,A,A,B,A,TAG,A,B,A,A-,B,A,A,B,B,B
