RESTARTS

Don’t panic! Really easy to hear – same place each time, after count 24 (L coaster).
When they sing the chorus and when ‘I went away’ – this is the start of the restart walls.

During wall 4 – wall starts facing 9 o’clock, restart facing 3 o’clock
During wall 8 – wall starts facing 12 o’clock, restart facing 6 o’clock
During wall 9 – wall starts facing 6 o’clock, restart facing 12 o’clock

After you’ve done these 3 restarts, they will sing the chorus again – just dance through it to the end, you will finish facing 12 o’clock.

Not as hard as it looks, you will hear them easily in the music – promise!

ENDING
Dance finishes facing 12 o’clock with the sway R L at end of dance – add an extra sway R posing raising arms slightly to fade with the music!
