| Please
note this dance option: When I was choreographing this dance, I also
found another great song which this dance can be done to, and its phrasing is
easier: no Part B, just a restart. So as not to confuse the two versions,
I named them with different names. "Vegas Boogie" is on my website,
billbader.com, and is done to the Brian Setzer song "Gettin' in the Mood".
