This dance has a very different feel when done to a slow groove like
Wynonna's "To Be Loved By You". At this slower tempo, you might 
want to modify the kicks at the beginning to Scuff Kicks (scuff heel 
forward creating a very low kick).
Also for slow songs, you may want to eliminate the Claps at #8 and #12.
