What makes "Siamsa" a wonderful and fun piece of music is the tempo changes.(mood swings?).The dance progresses very well through these ups and downs until the 7th time the dance is repeated .In order to accommodate a much slower tempo change at counts 49-56 and a slight phrasing change to finish the dance, do the following:
TEMPO CHANGE
49-56(Cue drumbeats) facing front wall- adjust speed to the tempo
PHRASING CHANGE
55&56Cross right behind left, step side left with left foot, touch right beside left.
Eliminate the last 8 beats of the dance and start the dance again. The tempo will be a little slower at first but will accelerate rapidly. Dance will end exactly on the 64th beat.
