Notes for Counts 13-16:
For style on walls 2 and 4, you can syncopate the rhythm in steps 13-16 to match the rhythm in the lyrics (“Can We Just Let Go”). This would look as follows:
“Can” & “We”: (facing 3:00) Mambo forward on right foot:
(“Can”) Rock forward on right foot; (&) Recover weight on left foot (no lyric here);
(“We”) Step right foot next to left foot.
”Just” “Let” “Go”: Run back (left-right-left) making ½ turn left on last run:
(“Just”) Step back on left foot; (“Let”) Step back on right foot;
(“Go”) Make ½ turn left stepping forward on left foot. (turning to 9:00)
Wall 6 (which begins facing the back wall) will end around count 15 or 16. Again, you’ll be facing 3:00. Wall 6 is not syncopated, but we will modify count 8 to make only a quarter turn left to face the front at the very end:
5&6(facing 3:00) Mambo forward on right foot: (5) Rock forward on right foot; (&) Recover weight on left foot; (6) Step right foot next to left foot.
7&8Run back (left-right-left) making ½ turn left on last run: (a) Step back on left foot; (&) Step back on right foot; (8) Make 1/4 turn left stepping to left side on left foot. (turning to 12:00) [music ends]
