Yes, I know this looks horrible, but once you get used to the rhythm, it is not bad. Remember, that this is an advanced dance, so unless you are advanced, don't ask for detailed explanations over the internet. I don't mind answering questions to help clarify a section of a dance, but I will not give you a lesson via e-mail.
Most of the patterns in this dance are quite common to advanced dancers, and should only take about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the teach.
