CAJUN / ZYDECO
Following are suggestions to enhance your enjoyment of dancing to C/Z music
1. DOWN - UP - UP The Down-up-up emphasis is particularly important in C/Z waltz styling. On the first count step full foot down and dip slightly, on the second and third counts lift onto the ball of the foot described, and take a short step
2. LEGS APART I've Observed at C/Z venues that the dancers both genders keep legs slightly apart [ less than shoulder width] throughout waltzes. Therefore when step sheet calls for "together" or "beside" keep your legs a minimum of 6" apart ---------hm
