Styling: On Counts 1-3, Do not lift lead foot off the floor-and keep your head slightly lowered
(Remember your first date?, thinking of what to say, who would make the first move,
but as the dance progresses so does your confidence- and it shows, till in the end...sheer bliss).

For those of you who feel in a passionate mood you dont have to 'pretend kiss' - but please,
get permission off your dance partner first.

TURN BACK THE CLOCK, DANCE AND REMEMBER
