END OF DANCE.... RESTART

Choreographers note: We kept this simple by not phrasing it, as you will feel like

there should be a restart or two.… however the dance does come back into phrasing

after one wall. The Westlife version is slightly slower than the Aaron Lines version.

When using Aaron Lines.... at the start of the last wall (you'll be facing the back)

there is a slight pause in the music; hold for approx 1&1/2 beats before starting the

last wall... after a few goes you'll feel it... and the dance will finish on the

cross-unwind full turn to face the front.

hope you enjoy this.... keep smiling :)
