*there is ‘short’ wall of 24 counts on the 4th repetition only, and it is necessary to make a small adjustment to the regular pattern of counts 17-24 as shown below so you are ready to restart the dance on the correct footing - what you do is take out the ‘&’ count and the final step from the pattern and do 2 pivot turns rather than 3 - this also means that wall 4 & wall 5 will both start facing the same direction (the back wall).

Because this is such a slow song, it is intended to be danced with a ‘latin’ feel using the hips and sliding the feet into each step.
