* There is a restart on wall 8 after count 28.

This just means you leave off the last 4 counts and restart dance after the shuffle

This is an easy little dance with a good feel, thanks to the music. 'Candida',

the song  is  definitely a golden oldie because I can  remember it from my youth....

and I'm a  golden  oldie! These days candida is a terrible yeast infection

(candida albicans)  that some people suffer with - I can't remember it being

around when this song was  written.  Hope not, or the  words take on a  whole

new meaning..... let's not go there!   Hope you enjoy the dance and the feel of the

music as you dance the steps. I certainly did.

Se e you on the floor sometime.......  Jan
