Begin again – with style!

*At end of Wall 5, facing 6:00, there is an 8-count TAG:
1&2&3&4Touch right toe out-in-out-in, rock right and cross right foot over left
5&6&7&8Touch left toe out-in-out-in, rock left and cross left foot over right
Start again from the beginning at Wall 6.

*At end of Wall 6, facing 12:00, there is a ‘missed beat’ in the music at the end of the pattern. Omit count ‘&32’, and start at Section One [Wall 7]. This will keep the phrasing, and avoid the remainder of the dance being done against the beat.

Dance ends facing 12:00 at the end of Wall 7.
