Comments: Daunting I know though this isn’t as bad as it looks. It is very important that you listen to the beats on Part A using the steps to interpret the music. Takes a bit of practice but you will get it. Try not to dance too flat footed as you want to be as smooth as possible while dancing this section. When you get to the cha cha bit (Part B) the timing will change half way through it. Use as much styling as you possibly can for both sections. This isn’t a song for everyone but I just adore Florence and have been wanting to write a dance to her music for sometime. Hope you enjoy this challenge.
