ENDING
You do not need to do this if you use Glenn Rogers version of the song. When this dance debuted at the 2004 Marathon the class decided to sing the ending! It makes it really fun! The original Bobby Bloom song ends with a waltz. So as the music is slowing down you should be facing 12:00 and slow down counts 13-16 (Kick, Cross, Back, Side, Cross). This is where you can sing "Oh what a beautiful morning"
