Note: Instead of the last three walks, you may scoot forward
with feet slightly apart 3 times. If used in competition
however, you should walk forward during the vanilla
repetitions and save the scoots for a variation. During
the vanilla you may use a bent knee action while walking
forward (pushing the knees forward as you walk) to give
a strong "Cuban motion". This cue sheet prepared and
revised 9/25/96 by Max Perry.
