BEGIN AGAIN!
CHOREOGRAPHER NOTES: From trial and error and with the help of my students, the following
teaching hints will save you and your students much grief.
FIRST 32 CTS....before the weaves begin.
When starting the dance, they will be in a slot facing the reference #1 PERSON who is facing them diagonally right.
I tell my students to reach out and shake right to right hands...this seems to help them remember who their ref.
person is and where they need to be at end of 16 cts. (back to same slot) at which time they will be doing the
1/2 turning shuffles into the correct slot.
SECOND 32 CTS....the weaves in-and-out.
When they reach the section where they will be *KEEPING HANDS* and executing the 3/4 circle turn, I make them
stop and make note that this person they are holding hands with is now their reference #2 PERSON.
At the end of the dance they must be facing in a slot and diagonally right to this reference #2 PERSON.
I know...this all sounds a bit much, but if and when you decide to teach this dance....you will THANK ME.
