Choreographers note: During the 2x Shuffles at the end of the sequence you may like to do 2x ½ turning shuffles forward (turning anticlockwise).
During the 2x walks at the end of the sequence you may like to do 2x ½ spins forward (turning anticlockwise).
Not everyone likes to spin, or is learning to spin so I’ve made these optional
This dance was choreographed for the Dunedin Line Dance Gala February 2024
