Choreographer's note:- This dance is not dedicated to the people of the 'worlds oldest profession'.
It IS dedicated to all the dancers who like a 'bit of fun' with some of the dances (besides, it's
good exercise for those thighs). Whenever possible I like to reflect the words of the song or even
the title within the dance-this time I think I've hit it on both counts.
Give this dance some 'gyp' (attitude)-it demands it.
