*On count 5-6, you may find it helpful to turn your body slightly right to prepare for Section 1’s Twinkle.

Optional Ending: Sequence/Wall 9 (12:00), dance the entire dance 2 more times without the 1/4 turn in
Section 4 - meaning Section 4 will be a basic Waltz L Fwd and R Back. On the last 12 counts of the song, Twinkle R with left foot lead and L with right foot lead [1-6], then Step L foot forward [1], Point R toe to right side [2], Hold [3], Step R foot back [4], Point L toe to left side [5], Hold [6]

Song Note: There are many versions of this classic song. Some have words, feature a banjo or flute, and can be slow. Any Irish Waltz with a constant 24 count phrase that isn’t too slow would work. ENJOY!
