Choreographer's note: The dance is performed at 'half speed' (105 bpm) with each count coming on
the heavy downbeat (see also alternate music). Suitable for all dancers within the Advanced
Beginner level (new levels) and above. A word of caution - even though there are no '&' counts,
the dance can be deceptively fast.
