Same as TAG 1. Both TAG 1 and TAG 2 occur after PATTERN “B”. The music slows down for the eight beats.
During TAG 2 the music slows down even more. It’s ideal when you can time the end of the last pivot turn with the beginning of PATTERN “A’s 1/4 turn sailor step (the first step) for a smooth transition
Tag 3 is a slightly modified PATTERN “B” steps 1 thru 16.
Steps #1 thru #13 are identical to those in PATTERN “B”…….
On step #14 hitch left with fighters pose, on #15 step L, on #16 hitch R with fighters pose
There is a Restart on the 3rd Pattern “A” after the 40 count. Its where two R kicks occur. Keep the second kick a little lower. It will make the transition to RESTART PATTERN “B” smoother.
