*********** RESTART HERE DURING WALL 7 (while facing 12:00) after music fade to bells
1,2,3Step L fwd (1), Step R beside L (2), Step L Beside R (3) 3:00
4,5,6Step R back (4), Point L fwd as you twist the upper body to R & lean back slightly (prep) (5, 6) 3:00

Restart Wall 4 (Starts at 9:00) - Restart after 12 counts (while facing 3:00)
Restart Wall 7 (Starts at 9:00) - Restart after 42 counts (while facing 12:00). This makes 4 turns in a row
During Wall 7 the music softens & fades briefly around beat 25 - 36. Keep counting during drag/sweep. The first 1 1/4 turn R towards 12:00 falls on 3 bell notes (37-39) and the 2nd full turn L falls on the words “ When I - close - my” (40-42). Restart on “Eyes”.
If you find this Restart tough, I suggest substituting the Easier Turning Option, leading up to it. It is a little less rushed feeling.
This may also help make it feel Unique and therefore easier to distinguish from the usual pattern.

Tag (3 beats): At the end of Wall 8 (facing 3:00) - Developé (1, 2, 3)
Keeping weight solidly on R, drag the L foot to R ankle(1), Raise L foot to R Shin (2), Bend R leg slightly as you extend L Leg fwd (whatever height you can) while leaning back slightly (3). You will “fall” fwd onto L to Restart the dance.

Ending: The dance ends 6 counts into Wall 12 (2nd time returning to 12:00). So do Beats 1, 2, 3 as usual, which makes a ½ turn to 6:00. Make another 1/2 turn L stepping R back (4) Hold as you open your arms (5,6)
