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! |
