Front/Back walls => Forward (section 1), then Back (section 2) -as written
Side walls => Back (section 1), then Forward (section 2)
Details: Dance Front and Back walls (as written) with Forward Stairstep Shuffles and Back Diagonal Step Touches, then dance Side walls inverting Sections 1 and 2, with Back Stairstep Shuffles (instead of Forward) and Forward Diagonal Step Touches (instead of Back). This makes you pay attention to each wall, since each wall the dance changes slightly.
Smile & Enjoy the Dance!
