~ Tips of My Fingers ~
Phase II Waltz. Prerequisite: Lesson 3 First Kiss
A once popular dance that is still requested at dance parties and events.
Check your progress.
If you can respond to all the cues covered in Lessons 1 through 3, then everything needed for
Tips of My Fingers has already been learned.
STEP 1: Observe the dance.
Listen to the cues and watch the dancers to determine if you would have responded to the
cues the same way as those dancers. Some of them make mistakes. Do not worry about
mistakes. Keep on dancing.

STEP 2: Investigating the Cues.
No New Cues
Q-Tip: STANDARD INTRODUCTION
Many dances use the "standard introduction" of waiting two measures followed by an Apart, Point, and a Together, Touch.
The cuer might only say, "Standard introduction" without giving the precise cues.
STEP 3: Practicing and Polishing Performance.
The cues in this sample are slightly different than the cues in the Step 1 sample. Dancers responding to
live cues should usually perform whatever they hear.
Also, notice how those without dance partners can enjoy practicing and performing the dance.
Do not sit out a dance for lack of a partner. It is easy to practice all alone at home.
Just for Fun.
