Eliminate the first 16 counts and restart with the syncopated vine right (3rd set of 8 counts). Continue dancing to the end of the song. You'll finish the dance facing the original wall (12:00).
BIG FINISHES
Option #1: step forward on right and throw arms out and up (in V for victory)!
Option #2: step back on right foot and lean weight slightly back on right. Cross hands (placing one hand, palm down over the other hand) in front and below the waistline. Pose with attitude! This is especially effective when wearing sunglasses!
A special thank you to Barry Taylor for asking me to choreograph this dance and for also giving me ideas with the rock steps forward and back! And also, for helping me make the change in this tag. It IS easier to dance this way!
