Note :

The shuffle steps on beats 3-4, and the kick ball change on beats 11-12,
are three steps performed in two beats of the music (note the '&' beat 
notation, as in cha-cha-cha steps).
"Long step forward" indicates that the leg moves from a position behind
the other to take a step forward.

In spite of being a two-wall dance (starting and ending on walls 1 and 3), 
much of this dance takes place facing the other two walls.
