Dance Video Tom's Friends (Video 1)

(No short description)
Beautiful dancing but the choreography is heavily modified for this demonstration. Bars 1-16 for 1c+3c and 17-32 for 2c+4c are condensed into 16 bars with all couples dancing; bars 49-64, a repeat of 33-48, are skipped as are the last 8 bars. Great to watch but not so useful for learning the dance.
