Note on restarts: Three restarts are needed to keep the choreography in sync with the verses and chorus of the song, but this might be challenging for beginner dancers. If you don’t mind dancing off phrase in parts of the song, it could be danced without the restarts. I personally prefer it with the restarts, as shown in my demo video.
Suggested ending: Wall 15 is the last wall of the dance. Section 4 starts facing 12:00. Dance counts 1-6 of Section 4, then 1/4 step LF to L side, returning to 12:00.
