TAGS/RESTARTS
Wall 2 (starting 9:00): After rock back (6) in section 2, walk R (7) and L (8) while turning ¼ R, restart with wall 3 at 6:00
Wall 4 (starting at 3:00): After rock forward (5) and back with ¼ turn R (6) in section 1, walk R (7) and L (8) while turning ¼ R, restart with wall 5 at 9:00
Wall 6 (starting at 6:00): After rock forward (5) and back with ¼ turn R (6) in section 1, walk R (7) and L (8) while turning ¼ R, restart with wall 7 at 12:00
Wall 8 (starting at 9:00): After rock back (6) in section 2 when music slows down, walk R (7) and step L next to R (8), restart with wall 9 at 3:00
ENDING (wall 10, starting at 12:00)
Music slows down in section 1 but starts at normal tempo again after count 5 in section 1 (adapt to tempo), continue to count 4& in section 2, then turn ½ left to 12:00, bend knees and lower body at the end of the long “flame” in the lyrics and then Rise Like A Phoenix with arms sweeping up and circular to the sides
