I choreographed the dance to the track on the YouTube video. This note applies if you dance to that particular track. After the tag, the full dance will be done another three rotations. The last rotation begins on the 6:00 wall. You can end the dance to the front wall by simply turning to face 12:00 on that ending kick ball change that starts the dance. So, technically, you will be facing 3:00. You can simply turn your head and upper body to 12:00 on count one as you step your L to side Left..

If you dance to the iTunes version of the track, there are only two full walls danced after the tag. You can end facing front by adding a half pivot turn to face front. So, to this track, your last wall will start at 9:00...just change the very end of the dance...instead of your final "kick, ball" into the top (you will be facing 6:00 at this point), step forward on your R and pivot turn ½ to the Left to face 12:00.

Happy Dancing!!!
