Two Restarts: -
On wall 5 (starts facing 12:00), after 32 counts, now facing 6:00.
On wall 6 (starts facing 6:00), after 32 counts, now facing 12:00.
Intro: 16 counts from first beat in music (app. 10 secs. into track). Start with weight on L foot
Phrasing: 16 (intro), 48, 48, 48, 48, 32, 32, 48, 16, 1.
[1 – 8] Side rock, R vaudeville, ball cross, side R, L sailor ¼ L
[9 – 16] Ball walk L R, L & R heel switches, step touch L and R
[17 – 24] L jazz box ¼ L, L chasse ¼ L, ball walk L R, syncopated L rocking chair

Start again
Ending: To finish at 12:00 do the following: Do the first 32 counts of wall 7. You’re now facing 6:00.
Do the last 16 counts BUT turn ¼ R on the &-count of your L side rock cross (counts 43&44).
You’re now facing 9:00. Repeat the last 16 counts again and repeat the ¼ R on the L side rock cross.
You’re now facing 12:00. After your last knee pop step R to R side ... [12:00]
Fun Option
Once you feel comfortable with the dance you can play with the high lights in the music:
leave out the second knee pop (&8) from counts 33-40 on wall 2 and 4 (facing 12:00) and
on wall 7 (facing 6:00) and wall 8 (facing 9:00). Just an option, but it makes sense…
