REPEAT

TAG: At the end of wall 6, you will be facing the front wall. After completing the

wall, add on the last 8 beats of the dance again from the cross heel drops. Then

restart the dance as normal.

As the music fades, you complete the first 16 steps and finish the dance facing the

front wall, with R toe pointing out to the R.

This is a beautiful song, and my first dance. I hope you enjoy dancing it as much as

I enjoyed choreographing it. Please feel free to copy and share this dance, but please

don't alter this sheet.
