[72] counts

Restart: Wall 3 & 8, dance to count 24** straighten to back wall to Restart.
Wall 6 dance to count 12* replacing the ¼ on count 12 to a ½ turn to Restart on back wall
Although the restarts happen on different counts of the dance, they happen on the same step (Twinkle, twinkle ½).
So, once you learn one restart, apply to them al 3l. All 3 restarts will have you restarting on the back wall

To Finish, Dance to count 12 on wall 10, replacing the ¼ on count 12 to a ½ to face front and step fwd L

If you are looking at a split floor for your upper beginner or an easy Improver dance.
