The Dance Script

If You Can Say It, You Can Do It

Logic will get in the way when it comes down to the most important part of learning this choreography, which is to say the words. (Sometimes uttered with a variety of expletives, as in "Say the @#$% words" ) They may seem like nonsense syllables, and in fact they are, but the rhythm of the words make it possible for everyone-- you, your grandmother, your grandchildren, everyone--to learn the dance in time for our big flash mob on the Ajijic Plaza, October 27 at 2 PM. Perhaps an even better reason to commit them to memory is to avoid going blank on the big day As Choreographer Ines Markov says;

"It’s not your feet that trip you up, it’s your brain! Keep your brain working and your body will keep moving. It may seem strange or even difficult to talk while dancing, especially for those of you who have never done dance before, but we promise you:

If you  can say it, you can do it!"
