This is a 2-part dance with an easy 32 count intro and 2 easy 4 count tags on walls 2 (3:00) and 4 (12:00).
Dance sequence is intro, AB, tag, AB, BBB, tag, B. Part A is 64 counts with some steps occurring with no melody, while Part B is a fairly easy 64 counts. The song has “heart beats” throughout the intro and in part A, and the steps/emphasis coincide with those “heart beats.” Generally, holds in Part A, steps 9 to 48, exist on count 2 and/or 5 (i.e., count 1,3,4,6,7,8), which roughly coincides with the heartbeats. Special thanks to Elizabeth Smith - we can always “count” on you!!! Enjoy and happy dancing!
