It will look better if the genders are separated because the different sexes have different arm movements. You will have to split the floor! Translated, it means "at Tanjong Katong" (name of Malay fishing village in ancient Singapore). Dedicated to the "Katong" LineDancers, who encouraged me to form a LineDance Society for Singapore! Also Special thanks to Puan Ribut Rahmat for her invaluable advice.
