To fit the music, the dance phrases in 32 counts and then 36 counts. Every second wall (starting with the 2nd wall) you have to add the following 4 counts:
1-4Walk forward right, left, right, left (You can vary this any way you like. Try "rubber legs")
At the end of the 9th wall (right side wall), use the 36 count phrasing. This happens during the instrumental and will mean that you will be doing the 36 count version of the dance twice in a row. Then keep alternating between 32 & 36 counts until the end of the song!
I had a great time choreographing this dance with Peter. I hope we can collaborate again in the future!
