48 Beats, This dance has 3 restarts, but don't let this put you off trying the dance.

Each restart occurs at the same spot, you dance 32 beats and restart, it comes just

after the flick and clicks. Very very easy to pick

Restarts come in on walls 3, 5 & 6. The counts follow as such: wall 1-48 counts,

Wall 2-48 counts, Wall 3-32 counts, Wall 4-48 counts, Wall 5 & 6 both have 32 counts.

To finish the dance facing front, on beat 32 do two pivots, then flick! Click! And Whoo!!

I Really hope you try it, add lots of attitude! And enjoy!

Keep dancing with a smile! Cheers, Sue
