This dance is written to be a split floor for Simon Ward’s I Believe.
Even though this is a 16-count dance and Ward's is 32, the restarts and interruptions in this dance will happen facing the same direction and time into the music as in the Ward dance.
As for arm actions, you can use arm waves back and forth on all walls on counts 1-3 of Section 1 (waving R arm to the left, then right, then left). If you prefer, you may use your arms as described in the Ward dance, but only when you start on the front or back wall. (On count 1, raise right arm up with palm up, then on 2 & 3, wave R hand to right as you sway R, palm forward, then wave to left as you sway L.)
