Agape choreography

Here it is...The new Beginner's choreography. Keep in mind this is a living, breathing organism, so as the choreography is fine tuned and adjustments are made you will need to check back often to ensure that the notes you have are up to date.The choreography is incomplete, but I think I have hammered out a good portion of it. Only a few more dozen sets of 8 to go! Happy dancing!!!
