    2. 2. Tapping the part to be removed and tapping "Delete".

    Choose parts of the dance to move around if you want to change the dance. This works the same as parts to be removed (Step 9). Separate parts of the dance. Duplicate them. Hold them in to move them to a different part of the dance.
    1. Note: When you are moving a part, it can only be placed at separations or at the beginning or end.
    2. If there is a part of the dance that you would like to remove, but the clip is too short, shorten the part attached to it.
