Marz and Mummies on 16 March 2011

Let's exercise our brains with this "3 section" dance.
It looks like a lot of fun and is rated ADVANCE level. It's like learning 3 dances of 32 counts each !
We learn by practising SLOWLY each part separately to perfection before we can complete the whole dance. The music will guide us into the sequence of the dance which is not difficult due to the good choreography by Niels Poulsen.

I think we can manage only Sections A and B for Wed.
To make the dance easier,:
We shall make section A into 1 wall throughout the dance. Hence sections A,B and C will all be danced in 1 wall.

ENDING: Complete your last A, now facing 12:00. Step forward on R with attitude!

NOTE! Phrasing explanation of the A, B and C sections:
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th time you do A you change the last 4 counts (counts 29-32) from 2 half turns to a 4 count walk around ½ turn L walking R L R L.
All of this means that you start your 3rd and 5th A section facing 6:00.
Now section A is a 2 wall dance and as a result you always do B and C facing 12:00!
Tips: In the B section you do what Marz tells you to do... The C section always starts exactly after Marz has started singing ‘She said’.
