Explanation of 'a' counts.
The timing of the music feels like a very fast waltz (6/8 timing).
However, the dance is not a waltz. It has been choreographed using 'a'-counts, which are known as “rolling counts”: &a1, 2&a3, 4&a5, etc.
The rhythm and the feeling of an 'a'-count can be picked up and experienced well with the step sheet below using the corresponding dance music.
