It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Mikael Mölsä (FI) - November 2021

Step Sheet

Starting point: At about 0:36.

Note: The song has a very long intro before it actually starts, about 36 seconds. When dancing, feel free to skip to that point. Also, on wall 6, you get to dance about 16 counts after which the song slows down to a very slow pace. At this point, feel free to stop dancing.
