Notes:

1* For this second Sunday workshop it is intended strictly for Int+ dancers (wsdc points), if you feel you can cope with it and you desperately want to join in, you may take part at the end of the hall with a non rotational partner, and u can't ask questions! Note: this is the only fully Int level workshop of the weekend, so why not have a cup of tea, relax and watch!)  Grumpy sleep deprived Chris will be policing this, be scared, be very scared!
