Step Sheet
32 Count, 2 Wall
9/27/2025
Note: The music leaves the chance to listen to it in 2 ways:
1
. Very quick: So it would make the song an East Coast Swing within in phrases (not the choruses).
2
. Half the speed, quite slow: Only considering the speed, it would match a Night Club 2, but of course the music is much too „aggressive“ to be a NC2.
For my interpretation I chose the "slower interpretation“.
