Choreographer's note: This dance will allow for styling and possible 'ad-libbing'... so go for it.
I have tried to recreate, within the dance, the actions of Popcorn whilst in the making.
The dance being short and tight, I was tempted to reduce the number of turns to create this a
'beginner' dance. But I felt the sheer enthusiasm of the music would have been lost -
hence Advanced Beginner.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.

Dance starts when the 'pops' come in for the first time. Feet together and weight on left.
