Styling Note:
The verses of this song (walls 1 and 3, counts 1-32) have a syncopated piano beat that lands rhythmically before counts 3 and 7. To match this beat, I quicken the steps before the piano beat. For anywhere you have 2&3 or 6&7, double the speed of those counts (2e& or 6e&) to land on the piano beat. Anywhere you have 2 3 or 6 7, double the speed of those counts (2 & or 6 &) to land on the piano beat. Then slow down and wait for counts 4 and 8. This will cause the dance to have a push and pull effect during those verses on Walls 1 and 3. Counts 33-48 are not syncopated at all. I wrote the diagonal walk steps to help us break away from that syncopated pattern.
