Choreographer's Note-What makes "Siamsa" a wonderful and fun piece of
music is the the tempo changes.(mood swings?).The dance progresses
very well through these ups and downs until the 7th time the dance is
repeated .In order to accommodate a much slower tempo change at counts
49-56 and a slight phrasing change to finish the dance, do the
following- Tempo change-counts 49-56-(cue drumbeats) facing front
wall- adjust speed to the tempo Phrasing change- counts 55&56- Cross R
behind L,Step side L with L foot, Touch R beside L.
Eliminate the last 8 beats of the dance and start the dance again. The
tempo will be a little slower at first but will accelerate rapidly-dance will
end exactly on the 64th beat.
