Hint: when you start to do a Nightclub Basic, take note that you are doing it as count 1 of the dance, not as count 5 of Section 4, and continue from the start of the dance. END: There is a hold in the music as you approach the ending of the song, after counts 4& in Section 4, just before doing the second Nightclub Basic. Do not change steps, dance to the music. Ends facing 12:00. Contact - karen@trippcentral.ca |
