Note: This notation only describes the rhythm. The accents fall on the beat except for the first measure (or bar) where the accents fall on counts 1 and 3.
Tempo: Anywhere between 70 and 90 BPM. Find a tempo that works for you. I'll always experiment at different tempos to find one where I can be very deliberate with my steps yet still feel the rhythm.
