Choreographers note:- To make the dance more aesthetic, when performing the Twinkles remember
to turn the body into the direction of the lead foot.
The dance can be performed – minus Tag and Finish to any medium paced 48 count Waltz
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts after the long intro at 0.51secs – on the vocals after the introduction of the bass.
