There are two options for the last 8 beats of this dance. The first relatively easy & the second is more challenging. Both move in the same direction at the same time & so can be done side by side on the dance floor without incident. It is up to the individual dancer to choose the option which suits them best. You can do one or both (though probably not at the same time)
