**There is a restart of 32 counts after the 3rd wall on the instrumental section

(facing 9 o'clock), and it is necessary on count 31,32 to add 1/4 turn left as you

step Right behind the Left - this means you will then restart from count 1 facing

the back wall.

This dance based on 2 step rhythm has the same pattern for each set of 8, of Slow,

Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow - although each slow is written as 'Step, Hold' you should

try to use each 2 beats/counts as one smooth move, rather than move and 'stop' on the

2nd count.
