As of 11-17-18, the third section needs a correction which should be posted soon. Counts 3-4 should be a step right behind, point left side. Thank you, Andrea for noticing.

Dear senipadu,

After reflecting on what you wrote , I like the steps the way you mentioned and if you want to do it that way which is only a slight difference as an option instead of what I wrote, please do so. Let me know.

I have looked at your videos and think them beautifully executed by you and your dancers!

Regards,

Helaine
