#16 count intro - Start weight on L
Step R to side, step L next to R
Choreographer's note: This dance can be a floor split to Freedom by Darren Bailey & Raymond Sarlemijn. I choreographed this one-wall dance to introduce syncopations and Restarts to my dancers who are transitioning to high beginner/improver levels. Because they enjoy the dance so much, I decided to publish it. Thank you, Lakeview Center Dancers, for inspiring me!
