REPEAT
Dance Sequence: You will do the verse followed by the chorus 4 times in a row without a bridge or interruption. Following the fifth verse (if you don't want to count, listen for the part about the "Bama Boys at the Bowery - they don't dance but they play for free..."), start the chorus part normally. At the end of the second (reverse) sequence, replace your RIGHT-LEFT step with a step forward on the right, pivot ½ to left, to bring your back to the front wall. Continue by repeating the chorus sequence until the music fades away.
The tune named above is not Shag music. It is a rumba or slow cha-cha.
