sequence for the jig dance. The three minute dance instructed in this program is designed
to give you a series of hand and arm movements with minimum repetition of the various
moves. If you don't learn the hand and arm movements, you don't have a dance, as the
movements are the essence of the dance.

dances. This portion is designed to provide you with examples of the liveliness of Cajun
dancing and to acquaint you with some group dances that can be done to the jig step. These
