This dance was inspired by "Cloud 8" by John Michael Montgomery and I prefer to dance to this but it has 2 tags. The first is at the beginning of the 3rd wall (facing front) Just repeat the first 8 counts. i.e. Do 4 Cross, rock back, cha-cha-cha's instead of 2. The second is at the beginning of the 5th wall (also facing front). Start from the Vaudeville steps and continue as written until the end of the song. Finish with Cross right, rock back on left, turn ½ right cha-cha-cha.
