Choreographers note:- The dance is tight, fast and to re-create the authentic ‘floating’ effect associated with
this particular genre of 60’s dancing, it is best performed (for the most part) with weight on the balls of the feet.
Any arm styling is to be free and easy/freestyle – each dancer using as required. Just ‘go with the flow’.
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
Dance starts on count 16 from the start of music – 2 counts/beats prior the vocals.
