TAG / RESTART: After four complete repetitions of dance, tap right heel in place for eight counts, or, just hold for eight counts, then Restart. If doing the dance in contra lines, lines can switch sides on the eight counts by walking forward for four counts and doing two step quarter pivot turns to the left for the remaining four counts.
NOTE: This dance can be done omitting the tag to alternate tunes (i.e., Little Deuce Coupe by Beach Boys, etc.) as well as other Celtic / Irish tunes.
