** To keep the dance phrased to the song it is necessary to do 2 "restarts" of 36

counts. Simply do counts 1-35 as per the step sheet, then hold for count 36 - then

restart the dance from count 1.

These restarts happen after wall 2 when you will start and finish the 36 counts facing

the front, then do 3 complete walls and the second restart will start and finish

facing the back.

Choreographers Note: This is the my combined effort with Simon although we have been

talking about doing so for a while, we never seem to get together long enough to make

it happen. Hopefully you will like the dance and the song as much as we do and we can

get to do another.
