One Response to “10. The Sound of Cara”


  1. Moira,
    in the dance “The Sound of Cara” there’s a difference between the description and the video on bars 9-16:
    I think the video is right and only the women set on bars 9-10 (instead of 2nd, 1st and 3rd couple set)?

    Kind regards
    Meinhard
