Count:
32
Wall:
4
Level:
Intermediate / Advanced
Count In: Dance starts almost immediately – you will hear lyrics “Its like you’re a drug” start on word DRUG.
Notes: The timing of the music feels like a very fast waltz (6/8 timing). However, the dance is not a waltz.
It has been choreographed using what is known as “rolling count” as in &a 1&a, 2&a, 3&a, 4&a etc
For instructors once you have the rhythm you may want to just count with regular “&” counts however I have broken it down on the step sheet in timing with the music.
The walls are actually all done on diagonals – so 1st wall is 10.30, 2nd wall is 7.30, 3rd wall is 4.30, 4th wall 1.30
Footwork – you will notice I have broken the steps into counts of 7 – this is for teaching purposes of how the steps flow
