All right. We'll go through it in half time, until you have the rhythm.

[This isn't a dance that Paul should be teaching a lady of any House. The ground-slapping, half-leaping folk dances of Caladan are for town fairs, for farmer's daughters with high-bound curls and wind-chapped cheeks.

But they're still more dignified than the gyrations of the rest of the dance floor, so Paul draws himself straight and demonstrates the steps - halfway between a jig and clogging, emphasis on motion from the knee in high steps and flicking outward kicks.]


Did you catch that?
