Choreographer's note: There will not be many people who don't remember this Disco
Dancing Diva from 1978 and I think it will be even easier to count if I said 'hands
up who hasn't seen the film'. Unfortunately, the music is phrased all over the
place, but to make life easier for all of us I have decided to stick with a 36
count vanilla with no tags, bridges or restarts to worry about...altogether
now...'For he's a jolly good.....'. Also, each of the three alternative pieces of
music that I have chosen have their own rhythm and each can give the dance a
totally different feel.
