ZIN Choreography Notes – Volume #15

These choreography notes are only meant to supplement the ZIN DVD. If you do not have the
ZIN DVD (i.e. you joined ZIN after the release of this DVD), then these notes may not be as
clear to you without the DVD. While any ZIN member is welcome to use these notes, we are
unable to clarify the notes (unable to answer any questions about the notes) if you do not have
the DVD, since these notes work in conjunction with the DVD. The notes are intended to be
used as a “reminder” for those of you who have the DVD. Feel free to print these notes and add
your own notes for clarification and/or add your own choreography changes to any parts of the
song.
