I thought this was a neat track and a challenge to use the same pattern for the 2 step and waltz

Start with the 2 step pattern

1-8	BOX: SIDE TOGETHER, FORWARD (QQS), SIDE TOGETHER, BACK (QQS)

1-2	Step Left to left side, step Right next to Left
3-4	Step Left forward, hold
5-6	Step Right to right side, step Left next to Right
7-8	Step Right back, hold

9-16	SIDE TOGETHER, 1/4 TURN (QQS), 1/2 TURN BACK RECOVER, (QQS)

1-2	Step Left to left side, step Right next to Left
3-4	1/4 turn left stepping Left forward, hold
5-6	Turn 1/2 left stepping back on Right, step back on Left
7-8	Recover weight on Right in place, hold

17-24	SIDE RECOVER, CROSS (QQS), 1/2 TRIPLE TURN (QQS)

1-2	Step Left to left side, recover weight on Right
3-4	Cross Left over Right, hold
5-8	Turn 1/2 left stepping on Right, Left, Right, hold

25-32	FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT (QQQQ), 3/4 TURN (SS)

1-4	Step forward Left, Right, Left, Right
5-6	Step Left forward preparing for turn, hold
7-8	3/4 pivot right stepping on Right, hold

After 3 repetitions, when music changes to 3/4 rhythm as you turn to face the back wall,
do the same dance as a waltz by leaving out the holds

Waltz pattern

1-6	BOX: SIDE TOGETHER, FORWARD, SIDE TOGETHER BACK

1-3	Step on Left to left side, step Right next to Left, step Left forward
4-6	Step Right to right side, step Left next to Right, step Right back

7-12	SIDE TOGETHER, 1/4 TURN, 1/2 TURN BACK RECOVER,

1-3	Step Left to right side, step Right next to Left, turn 1/4 left stepping Left forward
4-6	Turn 1/2 left stepping back on Right, step back on Left, recover weight on Right in place

13-18	SIDE RECOVER, CROSS, 1/2 TRIPLE TURN

1-3	Step Left to left side, recover weight on Right, cross Left over Right
4-6	Turn 1/2 left stepping on Right, Left, Right

19-24	FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT 3/4 TURN

1-3	Step forward Left, Right, Left
4-6	Step Right forward, step Left forward preparing for right turn,
	3/4 pivot right stepping on Right

Do 2 repetitions of the waltz, finishing, on 3rd repetition at count 18, facing 3:00
Turn 1/4 right to face the back wall and start the 2 step pattern again.
Do 3 repetitions of the 2 step then start the waltz again on the front wall.
Waltz 'til the end of the music finishing on count 11 angled to the front wall
The music pattern is: 2 step, waltz, 2 step, waltz
