Choreographers note:- The step sequences within this dance should be within the scope of all experienced
Advanced Beginner dancers who are just tasting the ‘fruits’ of Intermediate dances.
The short 5th wall coincides with the instrumental break.
Originally Choreographed over a year ago – but never published, until now (with a revised last section)
My thanks to Fons Muller of ‘Millcorner’ in the Netherlands, for suggesting the music in July 2007.
