| Intro: 16 counts from first beat in music (app. 14 seconds into track). Start with weight on L foot |
|
| 2 RESTARTS: AFTER 40 counts on wall 2 and 4 - facing 12:00 each time |
|
| Note: The music hasa 6/8 timing to which you would normally do a Viennese waltz. However, I’ve choreographed this dance following rolling counts i.e., ‘1, 2&a3, 4&a5, …’ etc. Listen to the music and try to count it with my counts. It does make sense. Good luck. ;-)) |
|
| Extra note: Thanks to Maria Maag for her support and to Tom Araujo for his patience! ;-) |
