3-4Touch left toe to left side, bring left beside right

TO FINISH
Stop abruptly with hand movements, which give the dance a stylish, jazzy finish. You will finish on a back wall. At around beat 5 or 6 (when you are doing your right shuffle) you will hear the rhythm of the music change, and this warns you that the ending is coming. At beat 12, hitch your knee as normal, but instead of going into a left shuffle on beats 13 and 14, just point your left toe to the left side, with your left knee slightly bent, and with your hands splayed with your palms facing forward. Hold as the music ends.
