NOTE: On the last count you will be facing the diagonal wall 4.30 to start the dance again you will need to make a ½ turn R as you Rock RF to R side, this will become a lounge movement. You should now be facing 9.00 to start new wall
A little tip for people who are willing to try this dance, If you hold on to the ‘odd’ counts in the dance, 1,3,5,7 you will feel the music a lot more.
Hope you enjoy this dance as much as I do.
