Brilliant xx

Description at the top says restarts are on walls 2 & 4 when it should be 1 & 3.

Niels November 12, 2024
Hi Steve. It should be corrected now

WilPol November 17, 2024
Apart from the choreographer Niels Poulsen's video, most, perhaps all, the demo and teaching videos are doing section 3 wrong. Only 2 holds in that section and most are dancing it with 3 holds.

Niels November 18, 2024
To everyone who reads this message: The dance has 2 HOLDS in the 3rd section. However, if you have learnt it with 3 holds it doesn't make much of a difference to the rest of the dance. It feels easier to get into section 4 with two holds only though. ... Thanks, Niels

Thanks for the clarification Niels: we will make sure and get it right. X
