Note: No tags or restarts, except when danced to Cher’s song ‘It’s In His Kiss’.

Do the first tag after three times through the 32 count step sequence. Do the second tag after three times through the sequence after the first tag.

 

Starting position: Form a circle facing LOD, or facing 12:00 wall if done as a line dance. Weight on RF
