Note: The dance sheet may be freely reproduced as is, but cannot be altered in any way, nor rewritten or modified without the choreographer's permission.

The dance sheet can be found on the choreographer's web site: http://www.micheleperron.com, in Word6 format or click here for an RTF version of the same file. The following step description has been slightly reformatted (font, size etc) for html display.

Please note that the dance sheet for this dance that appears on Kickit replaces counts 23&24 with &23-24. Presumably the version appearing on the choreographer's website is correct. The version being taught in Sydney is that appearing on Kickit.
