DANCE NOTE
Keep toe touches and heels close. Fast footwork is done more easily on balls of feet.

TITLE NOTE
In Newfoundland, Canada, if you are at a party or dance and want the DJ or musicians to play something fast to get your feet really moving you might shout, "PLAY SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE FLOOR!"
