1Step right forward
2Make ½ turn left on ball of right foot leaving left in place and raising heel
3Continue to turn making another ½ left allowing left toe to drag slightly forward
It should finish crossed over right with heel raised. I wrote the turns using two counts so you won't be standing facing front and waiting for the next beat to step forward, so don't rush them!

RESTART
On 3rd wall, you will be facing 9:00 wall when you complete ¼ turn (count 33). You need to bring left foot back and step beside right so you are able to restart
On 6th wall you will be facing front for the 'coaster' step (count 43-45), and you need to make "count 45" a 'hold step' so weight stays on left foot to restart
