7Unwind ¾ turn right (keeping weight on left), (9:00)
8Touch right to behind left and pointing to left (towards the back wall)
Counts 7 and 8 should be smoothed together, unwinding that turn over the two counts and discretely managing to touch right behind left, turn head towards back wall also

SPIN, WALK WITH TURNING ½, TOUCH

6Hold / pause
7Hinge turn: on ball of left - turn ½ turn over left shoulder and step right to right side, (9:00)
8Hold / pause
You can clearly hear the down beats of the music, so ignore those fast hold counts and step on those five low-toned piano keys. Those counts feel like: 1, 2, &(hold), 3, 4. It's an odd one, but the music does explain

REPEAT

TAG
After wall 2, transfer the weight onto the left foot (57-64 &), then repeat the final 8 counts of the dance (57-64). This is also where you'll be missing out the back wall
During wall 4, dance up to counts 49-56 and start the dance again. You'll be facing the front originating wall. Also, to make this work, instead of touching right beside left (count 56), step right beside left for a weight transfer to start the dance again on the left foot

OPTIONAL ENDING
After wall 5, simply repeat the last 16 counts of the dance 49-64
