Choreographer's styling notes: |
The toe taps on the first 4 counts should be BIG, well across and behind. |
Between counts 14 and 15 introduce a small "spring" or "hop" into your step, this should |
also be done as you change weight on the "&" count on 27&28. |
Being an Irish style of dance, the hitches and hooks should be high and tight. |
The forward toe taps should be executed with the leg and ankle straight out. |
