When dancing to Smooth by Santana, do dance in the following sequence:
A,A,A,B,A,B,B,A,A,A,B,A,C,A,B,A,A,A

As with all phrased dances, this sequence becomes second nature when the
dancer becomes accustomed to the music and very little "thinking" is required.

When dancing to other listed songs simply dance 32 counts of A and repeat

Like most choreographers, we have tried to avoid writing a phrased
dance, but a dilemma is created when THAT SONG comes along, and any
simple phrasing just will not work. When that happens, a force stronger
than the human will takes over. This dance is the result of that force!
We hope you enjoy it.

Don't forget to keep it smooth!
