Choreographers note:- Treat the dance like a ‘slow’ Quickstep, don’t ‘step’– just glide and blend smoothly.
All walk steps (*) are performed ‘in line’ (as if on a Tightrope) and a little longer than normal.
As this dance ‘travels’ it is recommended that room at the front and the back is accommodating.
Ideal for the new-to-level Intermediate.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts on Count 9 of intro – with the main vocals.
