For those of you that like to finish with style, you'll be facing 3:00 when the music fades just as you do the rock & cross in the last set of 8. Finish with the syncopated rocks and the sweep turn but only turn 1/8 left to face the original wall
Execute this dance smoothly with no "bounces" or "hops" on the syncopated counts, but feel free to add a bit of funky flair in your shoulders, arms and hands while dancing
