1,2,3,4Vine right four steps – right to side, left behind, right to side, left step together
5,6,7,8Tap three times with right toe to right side and hold one count (right hand with index finger pointed should wave with each tap to emphasize beat)

S3: MAMBOS AND TURN
5,6,7,8Make a quarter turn left (9:00) and mambo left – left forward, right in place, left back and hold

5,6, 7,8Flick right foot, throw hands in air(5), hold one count(6), touch right toe down(7) and hold (8) preparing to begin dance again with right forward Charleston step
PERFORMANCE NOTES:
(1) There is a slight “internal” Tag on 3rd wall when singer draws out the word “escape” [ct. 48] – do the toe point and stomp sequence twice
(2) There is a Restart on wall 5 after the mambos [28 counts and a pause].
There is time to do a brief twist, if desired (3)
At end of song, repeat the jazz box, heel swing, and flick sequence three times
