The dance is only 32 counts, but the music suggests 64. I felt that it may have been too cluttered to create a full 64 count dance and in doing so possibly lose the simplicity of the song. The dance can easily be turned into a two wall - see below. Dance starts on the word 'It...' as in 'It had to be you' after the 40 second intro. Feet slightly apart with weight on the left
