Dance Information

The Devil's In The Detail is an idiom that refers to a "catch or mysterious element hidden in the details", meaning that something might seem simple at a first look but will take more time and effort to complete than expected.

It derives from the earlier phrase, "God is in the detail" expressing the idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly; i.e. details are important.
