When using the Michael English song, dance up to count 24, to the end of the instrumental section
After dancing the sequence 3 times (you'll be facing the 3:00 wall) dance up to counts 1-2&3 in section 4 and change steps in 4-6 (counts 22-24) as follows
On ball of right make ¼ turn left and sway left, right & hold (weigh ends on right foot) then restart the dance again from the beginning facing the front wall
The dance is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine, Eileen Bolton (who I hope knows that the title is very T.I.C!)
