0:09:04 > 0:09:09Can you hear the type of music that might be right for Dolores?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Drumming music!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I couldn't stop moving my feet.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53My dear, that's a fabulous sign!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55If I have that sort of music,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'm sure I can find a dance that's right for me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02But where am I going to get a drum?
