(Styling tip: this dance is fast!, full of energy & bounce. To achieve maximum oomph & fun effect, think Jive/Lindy Hop, try dancing the Jive, Shuffles & Kick Ball Change sections on the balls of the feet as much as possible, there you go, did you feel the difference?
Alternatively, if you fancy dancing to the same music but with half as many steps counting every other beat (80 BPM) therefore, at a slower pace, why not try my Beginner dance Devil You Know (part 2 Beginner) it has a touch of a slow Charleston. Any questions feel free to contact me on the email address below)
