There is a restart for the dance after the 3rd complete wall:

Start facing the back wall and simply dance counts 1-24, changing the very last step

by taking out the turn and making it a simple step forward on the L foot to restart

the dance facing the front wall.

This is the instrumental part of the song so is easy to recognise without having to

think too hard.

This has to be one of my easiest dances I'm sure, and combined with the slow tempo

should make it almost beginner level. It did have a heap more turns in it

originally , but even I was getting dizzy (could just be old age ?) so I toned it

down a lot. Hope it's not too easy now and that you enjoy it and the pretty song

which is just one of many from Vince Gill's latest release These Days - I have a

couple more earmarked so stay tuned !
