Choreographers' Note: Dance through the dance 2 times. The 3rd time you dance through is where it
gets tricky. Dance the first 32 counts of the dance (ending with the walk forward & Left kick). Now
you will add the tag below. The "feel" of the music changes & although the tag steps will be
written as 1&, 2& etc, the "feel" of the music will make you want to count the tag as 1, 2, 3, 4&,
5, 6, 7 8& for the entire tag.

Once you have completed the tag restart the dance at count 49 (which starts with the Right foot to Right
side followed by the toe taps etc). Complete this pattern of the dance, and then start the dance
from the beginning one more time. You will dance as far as steps 49-56, finishing with the jazz
box. On the last step of the jazz box touch Right toes to Right side (rather than crossing Right over Left) for a
nice finish.

Here's the pattern in a nutshell: 1-112, 1- 112 counts, 1-32, TAG, 49-112, 1-56
Good luck!
