TAG: On 5th pattern (12:00), dance the first 8 counts twice (16 counts total) and then restart the dance. You will be doing the first 8 counts 3 times….
ENDING: On 9th pattern (12:00), dance 1-16 but don't turn on count 16.
Note: The inspiration for this dance was an old dance called Red Dog, by the Whiskey River Dancers that we did many years ago. It was 42 counts and would not play well today with the odd count, but it was a fun dance and we did it in demos and classes. So this dance is kinda "the hair of the dog that bit me" so to speak… ( ;
Some of the steps in Red Dog have been used in this dance.
