The Choreography
- Simple Twinkle (also called Single or Open Twinkle) 123 123
- Open Break and Under Arm Turn (including Twinkle to
PP and Feather/Continuity Ending) 123 123 123 123
And for the future:
- Continuous Twinkle (also called Open Right Turn) 123 123 123 123
There are four parts to the Continuous Twinkle:
- Twinkle to PP 123
- Open Right Turn 123
- Impetus to PP 123
- Feather/Continuity Ending 123
Fun Inserts:
Additional Figures to insert between the two measures of the Simple Twinkle, after the third measure of the Open Break and UAT, or the second measure of the Continuous Twinkle:
- Chasse in Promenade Position 12&3
- Grapevine 1&23
- Two or Four Swivels/Fans 12, 3
These three figures may be inserted separately or as a group. The purpose of these inserts is variety, floorcraft, to develop your skill set, and FUN.
Do not over lead.
Keep the action of the base isolated from the frame. Do not move hectically.
It is usually best to double each of the inserts, i.e. dance two chasses, two grapevines and/or two sets of fans.
