The dance was intended to emulate the "West Coast Swing" and uses the styling, 
attitude, and "slot" moves similar to the couples dance.  The dance is relatively easy 
to do slowly, however, the challenge & difficulty increases greatly, as the dance tempo 
approaches 100 bpm.  Be sure to take small steps where noted.  Maintain line dance 
separation, otherwise, the "flick" may be hazardous to others.  A Special Thanks to 
Perry & Jenny Neal for unselfishly helping and advising the choreographers to "style" this dance, 
correctly.  We hope you have fun dancing this "sassy" West Coast Line Dance with "Attitude"!
