Count:
48
Wand:
2
Ebene:
Intermediate waltz
Notes:
• Dance starts 48 counts into the track – just before the lyrics start
• There is a 7 sequence of steps that differ depending on the level you are teaching to the class. Teach one; either or both, it is designed to appeal to all levels. Once you master the basic steps, think about something a little more challenging
• Might be a good idea to split the floor as the intermediate steps travel a little more than the basic steps, however it is encouraged that the basic steps are to be travelling and not done on the spot so there should not need to be a split floor.
