Choreographer's note: There are many singing versions of this classic song - but only a handful
(if that) instrumental versions. This version from 1967 is, in my opinion the best to ever come
out of both worlds. Even though the sound is very American - Wynder K. Frog (a group by the way)
were very much from the UK. There are a few options within the script that the dancer may like to
use - flexibility is the key.. and does add enjoyment to dancing in whatever form it takes.
Suitable for established Beginners (new levels).
