64 RESTART DANCE FACING NEW WALL

Original music chosen for this dance was  BAD HABITS by Billy Field. As this music very difficult to find I have changed to above. The dance is no longer perfectly phrased but doesn't feel at all awkward. 

Thank you to Iain Booth for CD and music advice. It nearly worked
