NOTES:
(1) Part A is always danced facing the front (12:00) wall and Part B is always danced facing the 9:00 wall.
(2) The fourth time you dance Part B you need to take the sweep into a ¼ turn L to repeat Part B
(3) Leave the ¼ turn out of the tag the second time you do it to finish facing front.
This is where our demo video ends the dance. ---- If you wish to continue with the music to the end then do TAG2 (below) then do Part A again finishing with a ¾ Monterey (instead of ½ ) to bring you back to the front wall .
(4) This all sounds difficult but it actually makes sense when you hear the music. Another way to look at it (instead of as a phrased dance) is to see A & B as just one 68 count dance with a tag & 2 repeats of what is labelled Part B

1-4Step R toe across L, drop heel, step back L toe, drop heel
