Choreographers note:- Though levelled at ‘Advanced’ many experienced Intermediates may find this dance within
their capabilities. For a little pizzazz, try both hands clenched as if holding a horizontal cane – moving arms with body.
There are many remixes of this music by TACO – use any and fade out after TACO sings ‘Puttin On The Ritz 4 times (at approx 2.30 to 2.40)
Dance note.. the Taps within the dance are not fully uniformed to those within the music.
