Choreographers Note: The phrasing is quite tricky in this one. The Restarts are not necessarily easy to distinguish in the music and where it may sound like a Restart is coming up, it isn’t always the case. This is the main reason behind the Int/Adv level rating.
As an easier alternative, you can use the Elton John track which has No Tags Or Restarts but is slightly faster.
