EXTRA STUFF: At the end of the first 3 walls there is the need for extra steps.
On the end of walls 1 & 3 facing the back wall add the TAGLET (2 counts)
and on the end of wall 2 add the TAG (Taglet plus bonus 6 counts – all easy to remember, honest!)
Now we could have tried to add one more tag towards the end of the track but opted to just dance through. Enjoy!
