Note: The music has a 6/8 timing to which you would normally do a Viennese waltz. However, I’ve choreographed this dance following rolling counts i.e., ‘1, 2&a3, 4&a5, …’ etc. Listen to the music and try to count it with my counts. It does make sense. Good luck. ;-))

Extra note: Thanks to Maria Maag for her support and to Tom Araujo for his patience! ;-)

Option! On wall 5, starting at 12:00, there are some extra and heavy beats in the music from counts 14-17.
