Recommended Alternative: “Reet Petite” (168 bpm)…. Jackie Wilson (many compilations)
Choreographers note:- This FULL TEMPO version of ‘Reet Petite’ line dance was inspired by The Taipei Dancers.
The dance is suitable for experienced Advanced Beginners and above, due to the tempo and tight step combinations.
To accommodate the tempo, the original dance (Reet Petite) has undergone some changes including the Restart.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
