Amoroso

 



This is another simple dance that is entirely in piva time like Petit Vriens.

There are two sequences to remember in this dance. They are sequence “A”, which goes step-step-piva-step-step-step, and sequence “B” which goes piva-piva-piva-step. Every verse is a combination of these sequences
