Intro: 32 Counts

Restarts: After 16 counts during wall 3 and 6 (facing 12:00 both times)
There are 2 versions of the song, the song that I used for the choreography is 3:53 seconds.
There is a shorter version but I have not danced to it, so I am not sure if the restarts would be in the same place.

I am happy for dancers to adapt the steps and make things easier, so they still get a chance to dance to this wonderful music.
