I always send them to the Ansuya show clip on youtube, it's one of my fav clips of FC out there. Like Sooz and others, I too watch it before a performance to inhale the ATS mojo.

Sounds like you've learned the Pivot Bump/Choo Choo and the Arabic so far, so its a matter of time before you get to Shimmy and Egyptian. But if you want something to look at, here's a video that shows us doing lots of Shimmies and Egyptians. Egyptians happen at 00:43 when Wendy and Amy are up and Shimmies happen at around 2:16 when Anita and I come out. *;} Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:25:48 GMT http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/95d976d7-a3ab-4984-bbe1-5d3c9c93e53c#32f5d1c3-ec06-4a08-89df-f40f3f38dbe4 Sandi 2008-04-08T18:25:48Z http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/95d976d7-a3ab-4984-bbe1-5d3c9c93e53c#157242e6-3d47-4064-9394-92c4f67fa718 Would you detail the differences or point me to a youtube link for the ATS style ones?
