Note to instructors...You can use this dance to help your dancers be comfortable with phrased dances. Present it as shown, a dance with a Tag, then explain the concept of phrasing and show them that the dance they just learned can also be taught as phrased. It can help them to understand the concept and to alleviate any fear or intimidation about phrased dances.
