Ending: After the last time you finish the pattern (12:00) step R to R and freeze as the music pauses. During this moment of silence, think about one person you've lost in your family or dance community - that person to whom you dedicate this dance. Once the music begins again, step R forward and walk a total of 14 slow steps forward, with your head down and R hand over your heart.
