Hey Tammy,

I also acquired some instructional matereal and it's
more involved than simply prancing to any Chinese
styled drumbeat. TO do it right, the drummer follows
the dancer, not the other way around. With very
specific patterns known as 3 star, 5 star and seven
star patterns for very specific things. Still this is
really gonna be some kind of fun. I told Coach Li
about it and he's very excited.
