ENDING
Counts 1-8 are the same. The music will slow just a bit during the next 14 counts. Here you will do 6 hip sways (2 counts each) starting to your right and ending with your left (12 counts in all). With weight on left pretend you have a hat on and bring the left arm/hand around to the brim and pull down as you nod your head, matching the hit in the music (counts 13-14&). The tempo returns so continue the dance from that point with the jazz box section (count 17) to the cross-side-cross, hold (count 40). On last cross step (count 7) bring arms up into a high 'V'. Ta-Dah!
