Instead of a ¼ turn right before the drag, do a ½ turn right and step back into the drag to be facing the front.
On the words “You have my heart” – Stand with feet apart, circle hands out, up and in to end in a “hand heart” – fingers curled down, fingernails touching, thumbs touching at bottom of the heart shape.
Wait for words “I Love the Way You” and on the word “Hold” start again from beginning.
RESTART: On 7th time through dance (which is right after tag),
Do first 32 counts, start again from beginning.
ENDING: On last beat of music, point L across R and hold.
As the music fades make another “hand heart” & smile!!
