(Styling Option: On Count 2, instead of pointing R to R, flick R foot back)
(Note: The crossing shuffles on Counts 3&4 and 7&8 should feel like you’re traveling towards the diagonals, even though you’re still locked on the main walls)

(Styling: Several times during the song, like on Wall 2, Counts 5&6 fall on hard notes in the song. You can make them more dramatic by flicking your foot back (bring foot up behind you, bent at the knee) before kicking into the two paddles)
*Restart on Wall 8 after 16 counts. Instead of doing a rock-recover-coaster, simply perform a rocking chair on Counts 13-16, then Restart. (Rock fwd on R, rec on L, rock back on R, rec on L)
