/It will look better if the genders are separated because the
different sexes have different arm movements. You will have to
split the floor! Translated, it means "at Tanjong Katong" (name
of Malay fishing village in ancient Singapore). Dedicated to the
"Katong" LineDancers, who encouraged me to form a LineDance
Society for Singapore! Also Special thanks to Puan Ribut Rahmat
for her invaluable advice.
