Timing & Styling Notes:
Pay close attention to the contrast between the 1&a2 and 1a2 rhythms throughout the dance. Let the 1&a2 timing roll smoothly, while allowing the 1a2 timing to breathe and develop with control. Resist the urge to rush either rhythm, focusing instead on flow, balance and musicality
