CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: this song is not evenly phrased; due to 4 extra beats on 4

occasions, but I decided to do away with bridges & tags & do it straight, it evens

out in the end & still works quite well.

TO FINISH THE DANCE: on the 17th beat at the asterix facing the back wall, complete

the 1/2 turn acw stepping back on R, but then without turning step back on L, do the

R & L stomps apart & finish with the double heel bounce facing the front.
