Choreographers note:- Within the dance there are hand movements which are integral to the theme
– they also add a little ‘colour’ and fun. My thanks goes to Lau Kim Eng for recommending the music.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts with the vocals after the 32 count intro.
