Choreographers note:- This dance has more shuffles than a pack of cards, rocks more than an intoxicated
Parrot, has more turns than a country road …..and it starts the wrong way… but…. ?.
For the technically minded – I have placed tags at the end of the vanilla rather than Bridges after count 40 purely
for ease of teaching.. and remembering when dancing..
