Positioning/styling notes
Section 1: Start dance at midpoint of available space. Use the shuffles to position yourself at the back.
Section 3: The step/touches may be in place or move slightly forward, space permitting.
Section 4: The diagonal step/drags should take you to the front of your available space.
Section 6: Alignment of shuffles need not be precise, make a 3/4 circle back to 12:00.
Section 7: Optional--up on balls of both feet for count 1, drop on count 2. Run may traverse the entire space. Alignment on voltas need not be precise--make 3/4 circle to 3:00, aiming for midpoint of space.
Section 9: Make the voltas in full circle very tight, like a corkscrew. Optional--keep knees slightly bent.
Section 10: Focus more on the side-to-side movement of the syncopated step/side rocks, with some forward progression.
Suggested ending: After three complete walls, song ends during Wall 4 after Section 2. Do 1/2 pivots instead of 1/4 pivots in Section 2 to end facing 12:00.
