Notes on music
selection: This dance has a very
different feel when done to a slow groove like
Wynonna's "To
Be Loved By You". At this slower
tempo, you might want to modify the kicks at the
beginning to Scuff Kicks (scuff
heel forward creating a very low kick).
Also for slow songs, you may
want to eliminate the
Claps at counts #8 and #12.
