*This dance is not nearly as difficult as the counts would suggest. All patterns are repeated, either exactly or as mirror images, and the steps are all beginner to high beginner level. Part A is a 64 count one wall pattern, Part B is a 32 count two wall pattern, which is actually only 16 counts done twice.
