Note: This dance is a modified version of Don Deyne?s ?Shaggin? the Line.? 
The first 24 counts (MAIN) are done each wall; the music determines when the various tags are done. My suggestion is to listen to the song while looking at the step sheet a few times before you actually try the dance. 
The Order of the patterns is:  
1. MAIN, FREEZE  
2. MAIN, STEP TOUCHES 
3. MAIN, FREEZE  
4. MAIN, SUZY-Q  
5. MAIN, FREEZE, MAMBO STEPS 
6. MAIN, FREEZE 
7. MAIN, SUZY-Q 
8. MAIN, STEP TOUCHES 
9. MAIN, FREEZE 
10. MAIN, ENDING 
Instructor should call out all tags for the class until the class gets used to when the tags are done ? make sure you call them out before you get to the full turn on beats 23-24!
