Hey! Don’t look now – but you’re dancing !!!

Remember step softly and not too far away You are not on a route march !
Always ensure the ball of the foot makes contact first swiftly followed by the heel.
Transferring your weight correctly onto each foot alternatively
leaves the other foot free to move so there is no choice of which foot to use next.
