RESTART Yeah…I know, another dance with a restart. Unfortunately with the way current

songs are written, we are L with few choices. But with the dancing skill levels that

are apparent around the country these days, it has reduced the stress and difficulty

ratings to an acceptable everyday level. Don't you agree?

ANYWAY….

After the 1st wall, complete the counts from 1 - 16… then restart the dance again from

count 1

Although It's been a long time since I last choreographed a dance, I really liked the

mood of this song, enough to put some steps to it. Hopefully you will get some

enjoyment out of it as well. Have fun

SUGGESTED FINISH IN SECTION "G"

Perform the last four counts as follows…

5&6   Step R behind and across the L, step L to side, replace weight back onto R

&     On the R foot complete a ½ turn L

7-8   Step L to L side, step R beside L
