Tag: On Wall 7 (6:00), skip the first 16 counts and do the next 16 counts (the lindy right and left and the back-touches with claps). That’s the end of the tag – now do the dance from the beginning, still on Wall 7 (6:00).
Wall 8: On Wall 8 (9:00), skip the first 16 counts and do the rest of the dance to the Ending.
Ending: Dance ends at the front (12:00) – Just touch your R heel forward and slightly to the right and make an umpire’s “Safe!” motion with your hands. (This means crossing your hands at waist height, palms down, and then sweeping them apart, still palms down, so that your hands end up at waist height at approximately 45⁰ angles to your body.)
