The phrasing seems complicated, but it will make sense with the music. We try to simplify with easy and mirror image steps, and only 1 wall dance, so hope you will give this dance a try as the music is simply awesome. Enjoy!

The dance was performed as a surprise Flashmob at Tanusya (Adeline’s daughter) and Vibesh’s wedding.
Here’s wishing the newly-weds a lifetime (now to forever) of marital bliss. Enjoy the video of flashmob here: https://youtu.be/1FIFEWV0BGE
