"Only the other day an official

a dance step which can be done
TO march tempo. III people can
dance to marches, more dance
bands will play martial music.
Marching Thru Berlin Is a per-
feet song for this purpose. Ii has

towards your partner with your
right hand, then punch three times
with the left hand. Partners slap
right hands as they spin around
and then take 16 more pivot
steps and hold arms aloft in a "V''
