Intro: Start facing 7:30! Do the last 16 counts of the dance (steps 33-48). Weight is on L, be ready to kick R to the diagonal (7:30). Start kicking when you hear the piano strikes the first key (app. 3-4 secs into music). After these 16 counts you’ll start the dance from count 1, facing 12:00, app. 17 secs into track.
Two Restarts: On 4th and 5th walls you have a restart after 32 counts. Each time facing 9:00.

&5-6 Turn ½ R stepping back onto L, turn ½ R on to R lifting L knee, keep turning a slow ¼ turn R with L knee lifted and L foot pointed towards floor
(Note: rather than doing a full turn on counts &5, you can do a lock step instead. Works just as well) [6:00]

Full spiral turn R, walk fw R, mambo step, R behind L, turn ¼ L X 2, 2 diagonal back walks L R
2 – 3 Step fw L spinning a quick full spiral turn R on L (hitting the beat in the music…), walk fw R [12:00]

6&7 Cross rock R over L, recover L, step R to R side

5&6& Cross R over L, step L to L side, cross R over L, step L a small step fw towards 10:30 (you’ll be travelling just slightly forward during these steps) [10:30]
7&8& Turn 1/8 L stepping R to R side, cross L behind R turning 1/8 to L, step back R (facing 7:30), turn another 1/8 L stepping L to L side [6:00]
L turning weave, side rock, R turning weave, cross L over R, basic R, 1/8 L fw, touch together
1&2& Cross R over L (facing 4:30), step L fw (facing 4:30), turn 1/8 L rocking R to R side, recover to L [3:00]
