Choreographers note:- There are two distinctive (Orchestral)rhythm changes with the first 16 counts of
Walls 4 and 12 (12 being the Dance finish). The rhythm changes - the tempo does not.
The ‘Single’ 4m.26s version cannot be used with this dance – but there is a restructured (tags & restarts only)
version – that is available upon request. Watch out for the dance start – it creeps up on you.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts at 24secs on the word ‘talked’ as in “And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives…”
