144 RESTART DANCE FACING NEW WALL

Choreographers note: This dance was choreographed to a fast piece of music. Ignore the

amount of counts and just do the dance. Everything in this dance is a repetition of

steps on the opposite foot so really it is just 72 counts which you need to learn.

Enjoy it as I did writing it. Thank you MVL
