Choreographer's note: This dance is particularly suited for the dancer who has just moved
into the Intermediate section of the new levels.
Variations of - or other - 'Chubby Browns' can be found in earlier dances 'No Rest' 'Indeep'
and 'DC 10 EC'
Poke (Polk) - or pokeweed - is a tall, berry-bearing annual that grows in Tennessee and other
southern states of America. When young and tender, the plant's leafy parts can be prepared
similar to cooking spinach or other veg.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
