*Restart on Wall 3 after Count 24. Instead of making a 1/4-turn on Counts 23-24, instead stay squared to the front wall, step back on L to L diagonal, touch R next to L, and restart the dance.
**At the end of Walls 5 and 9, repeat the last 8 counts. You’ll be facing the front wall the first time and the back wall the second time. It hits the same part of the music both times. I like to use the 1.5 turn on Counts 30-32 here to lead into the faster-tempo chorus.
