Notes: The dance has been classed Intermediate/Advanced simply because of the timing and the
number of fast turns. However the music is very slow and these extra counts are not danced
extremely fast. As for the turns, I have alternative suggestions. Please contact me if you would
like a copy of the easier version or provide your own alternatives, as long as you feel
comfortable dancing.

The music is divided into triplets. This means there are 3 quick counts for every single count of
music. This is why you will see some counts written as 1&a the a count is the third quick beat of
music. Feel free to email me with any questions you have.

Thank you.
