START AGAIN

*CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTES*
(1) This dance really flows and it is really important that you do step BACK, BACK, BACK on counts 22-24 to regain your floor position. Ie it is not another back basic waltz step.
(2) Steps 31-33(the small weave) is danced with SMALL STEPS
(3) Steps 46-48 SMALL STEPS and is danced almost on the spot
(4) 2nd Restart is very early in the music and immediately after that restart facing front you will hear Blake singing for the 1st time.
That is another pointer that you are on your final Restart wall and you will Restart facing the back wall.

This is a fantastic track and we hope you enjoy the dance.
The restarts are easy to hear with the music - We hope you enjoy our dance
