#TAGS
#8-count tag. 2 V steps: R forward diagonal step (1), L diagonal step (2), R step back to center (3), L step back to center (4). Repeat for 5, 6, 7 and 8.
This is done 3 times, at 6:00, 3:00 and 9:00 (after walls 2, 3 and 5). Wall 2 starts at 9:00, ends at 6:00. Wall 3 starts at 6:00, ends at 3:00. Wall 5 starts at 12:00, ends at 9:00.
#16-count tag. 4 V steps with turn in the middle. After the 8-count tag at 9:00, you do wall 6, starting at 9:00 and ending at 6:00. Then you do 4 V steps, 2 at 6:00 then turning to the left to 3:00 and doing 2 more.
#12-count tag. 3 V steps. Do wall 7, starting at 3:00 and ending at 12:00. Then you do 3 V steps, all at 12:00.
ENDING: Towards the end, when the lyrics are about letting the music run to the end, keep dancing. You’ll end naturally at the front. Do L vine. Just hitch R and step R next to L for last beat, slightly after count 32.
A PERSONAL NOTE: There are a few dances written for this music, so you might wonder: Why another one? My goal was an easy dance for social dancers at my niece’s wedding reception. Why all the tags? She’s a musician and can hear the shifts in the music. I’ll be calling out the steps and tags.
