32 count intro - Start weight on L
Sequence: intro, 48, 48, 32 (chorus), 48, 48, 32 (chorus), 48, 31; counterclockwise rotation;
Note to instructors: you may want to slow the track until students are familiar with the steps.
The Restarts are easy to anticipate because they occur during the chorus “It’s all over town . . .” and the music changes.
Then as soon as you hear “Why, lady, why,” you know to start over with the side, hold.
The only turns are ¼, although two are back-to-back, and all the steps are common combinations so don’t be put off.
