END OF DANCE 

*****  BRIDGES : 2 extra beats to dance that occur between beats 24 and 25…

These are danced during the chorus of the song on the 3rd and 5th walls:

1,2  FULL TURN (L)

Turn 180* L stepping R back, turn 180* L stepping L fwd

***  RESTART: Occurs whilst you are dancing the 4th wall:

Dance up to beat 16 (cross unwind full turn) and restart dance from beginning.

NOTE: After dancing the first 5 walls (including  the restart wall), dance through

until the end. There are a few times when you will feel like you should restart again

but I felt that "over -phrasing" would spoil the effect of the dance, on the whole.

To finish the dance…. You will have 4 beats to dance at the end…simply rock onto the

right foot to face the front.

I hope that you all enjoy this dance as the song has something in it that I think most

of us can relate to in our lives. Keep smiling :)
