JIG A JAG (aka Dancing Dervish)

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Jig A Jig by East Of Eden-108-118 bpm (many compilations/iTunes)
	Paint It Black by Rolling Stones-160 bpm (40 Licks)

Note: Jig A Jig was originally the alternative piece of music to this dance.. and as Paint It
Black was too fast n furious for some dancers...Whichever music you choose, the dance with its
Gaelic or Eastern flavoured urgency is certainly NOT for the feint hearted. As it nears the end,
the music of Jig A Jig could test your dancing athleticism to the utmost limits - even more than
PIB maybe.

Dance starts after the drums and when the fiddle come in
