​

In the 1⁄2 stars of the A music, you have 4 bars to do a move which only takes two. This is why I ask dancers to turn in towards the star and then fall back, this uses the extra 2 bars of music and in my opinion adds an extra bit of interest.

Another unintentional quirk of the dance is that the 1st & 3rd times through, the 1s and 3s are improper, but the 2nd & 4th times through, it’s the 2s & 4s. However most dancers can handle this as long as they are pre- warned!
