**PAUSE: There is a 15(ish) count pause in the music towards the end. You are doing the A section when it occurs, in the midst of the Turning Open Box. Dance up to count 21 which is count 5 in that set of 8 and when the break in the music happens, you will stop facing the back diagonal... point side L , then cross L over or behind and unwind 1/2 turn to face the front wall (turn whichever direction you prefer). Do a couple of cross unwinds in place at your leisure ending at front wall, then on the word “from” shift weight to L to start from the top of A as music starts.
ENDING: The ending comes during the CH section just as you have done your chase turn. Step forward R and point side L squaring up to front wall, and be dramatic with arms out if you like :)
Choreographers’ Note: We highly recommend trying this dance out to many styles and rhythms of music, from wcs, to cha, to nightclub two, we think you will enjoy it slow and dreamy, as well as fast and funky. If you do, simply do the A (32 cnts) and B (64 cnts) and start again without any Restarts or Switchups, as we find it works out really well. Adjust the styling to suit you and above all.... ENJOY!
