Dance sequence:- A-B-A-B-finale
Choreographers note:- Only Intermediate because of the number of counts. Advanced Beginners will find this ideal.
The music was created to have an intentional ‘Waltz’ feel.. without being a Waltz – so add a little ‘Lilt’ or ‘Lift’ to the dance..
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts with the very first beat/word - ‘With tuppence…’ or contact taylormademusic@yahoo.com for special Intro version.
