Choreographer's note: Because of the short running time of the music and the tempo, the dance had
to be quite basic with a touch of the fun element that would be felt straight away and enjoyed by
as many dancers as possible. The number of alternate pieces of music that, either by genre, tempo
or rhythm can go with this dance is very extensive - such is the flexibility of the dance. Around
the 7th wall the music will go a little out of sync for a few counts .....don't worry about
it...I didn't.
