This dance was originally choreographed as "Almost Jamaica" by Ann Napier from Arizona. However, the dance did not entirely fit the music because there is a 16-count "bridge" or short phrase in the middle of the song that causes the remaining patterns of the dance to be out of phrase with the music. We added a 16-count bridge (see "TAG" at the end of the step description) to rephrase the dance with the music. The bridge comes on the 8th pattern of the dance which begins while facing the right wall and is distinguished by the instrumental section of the song
