TAG/ENDING
You only do the whole dance for 3 rotations. During the third rotation, after doing sections 1 & 2 of Part B, you will repeat, doing sections 1 & 2 again, before doing section 3. At the end of section 3, facing 12 o’clock, do a jazz box, then step right foot to right side to finish just as the song ends.

NOTE: We’ve broken this dance down into A and B parts, but it is a continuous dance, doing A B A B A B throughout. The A part, which is the verse of the song, takes you from the 12’o’clock wall to 6 o’clock. The B part, which is the chorus of the song, brings you back to the front. This happens on every rotation, including the third one in which you repeat sections 1 & 2 of Part B before doing section 3.
