* Performance Note:<\/strong>
\nSing through 1 time with no dancing. Traditionally this is done so that the audience can hear the arrangement because they know the song and will be singing along.<\/em>
\n Then add the dance and sing through as many times as feels right.<\/em>
\n Last time through stop the dance. This signals the audience that the song is ending, and they can enjoy the performance as it comes to a close.<\/em><\/p>\n
