+ | NOTES\\ | ||
+ | A2 The four changes here are leisurely (four steps per change). They should be not only elegant, but also timed to the music.\\ | ||
+ | B2 5-10 This is a slightly quicker sequence compared to the rest of the dance. One suggestion is to set back in a line, and not too far. Then attempt to do the turn single forward together! Finally, be on time with the short halfway turn. |
