#16 count intro - Start weight on L

NOTE: I am grateful to Michele Burton for listening to me whine while I was writing this dance; YOU can be grateful to Michele because she convinced me that a restart was better than the 24-count tag I had written . This dance is dedicated to Adrienne K, who encouraged me to publish it.
