Dance starts on the vocals after slide guitar, feet together with weight on the left.
Choreographers note:- The short wall restart couldn't be helped - neither could putting in the Mule Kick on counts 31&32 [he says with a smile on his face]. Not a 'new' move as its been in a few other dances such as XROADS from 1997. As for the title. wellllllll, as they say in the song " ..s**t(e) happens."
Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.
