64     Begin Dance Again

Some of the steps in this dance have been written to go with the lyrics. In order to

keep that flow going for as long as possible we have to do an easy little tag -

sorry - it only happens once.

At the end of the 2nd vanilla (while you are still facing the front)

Just do this:

1-4    Walk forward R-L-R, hold

5-8    Walk forward L-R-L, hold

9-12   Walk back R-L-R, kick L

13-16  Walk back L-R-L, kick R

Choreographers Note: A lot of people have a poor opinion of Eddie Rabbitt, but

honestly I think he sings great songs. He left the planet recently so that's another

one we've lost. I like this song and hope that the dance reflects the smoothness of

the song
