Choreographer’s notes: 24 count intro; finishes naturally at the front wall by wall 12 after the heel grind; no tags; 3 restarts – on walls 3, 6 & 8.
Those who don’t turn can replace them with mambo steps: replace the full triple turn with a R mambo step, the 1+1/4 turn with a ¼ R turning L mambo step. Enjoy!
