TAG:The following 16 count tag occurs at the start of wall 5 (facing 12 o’clock, at 1 minute 36 seconds into the track). The tag also occurs at the start of wall 12 (facing 3 o’clock, at 4 mins into the track) but is very near the end of the track so I have omitted it. By omitting this 2nd tag it also means that the dance ends facing 12 o’clock (rather than 6 o’clock) which I think is desirable:

Weave, Turn Monterey ½ R, Step fwd, Turn Pivot ½ R, Lock Step, Cuban Break
1,2,3Weave: cross L in front of R (1), step R to side (2), cross L behind R (3)
4,5,6,7Turn Monterey ½ R: touch R to side (4), turn ½ R whilst bringing R back to place and stepping onto it (5), touch L to side (6), step L next to R (7)
8Step R fwd.
