[Bg-dance] Choreography for John Tallow's Canon

[Myfanwy ferch Eifion]

Here's the choreography for John Tallow's Canon that we are dancing for the
Candle Dance.

Please try to review, if possible at home with your partner, if not, at
least in your head.

If the weather isn't bad next Tuesday, perhaps those of us who are out at
PiP could practice for 30 min.

See everybody who can next Sunday!

Notes for performing:
1)   Remember to have fun! If you aren¹t having fun, the audience won¹t
either
2)   Try to keep your steps crisp and precise.  However, if you make a
mistake, pretend like a cat and ³Mean² to have done the mistake
3)   Try to keep the level the same on ³raising² the candles to meet.
4)   Smile!!!!
