NOTE! Phrasing explanation of the A, B and C sections:
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th time you do A you change the last 4 counts (counts 29-32) from 2 half turns to a 4 count walk around ½ turn L walking R L R L.
All of this means that you start your 3rd and 5th A section facing 6:00.
Now section A is a 2 wall dance and as a result you always do B and C facing 12:00!
Tips: In the B section you do what Marz tells you to do... The C section always starts exactly after Marz has started singing ‘She said’.
