Phrasing Notes: We really liked the song but the phrasing made
choreographing a dance a challenge. You will dance the dance 8 times.
The first 2 times dance as written (56 counts). The 3rd time you will
be starting at the front wall. Dance until the coaster step in counts
47&48 (you will be facing the back wall), then RESTART the dance.
(Right before this restart in the music you will hear a series of descending notes.)
Dance the 4th & 5th times as written (56 counts). At the end of the
5th time (you will be facing back wall) there is a BREAK in the music
for 4 counts. Do the following for the break:

1-4	To right side press right heel down 4 times.
	Circle arms together in front of body, above head and then out to sides

Dance the dance for the 6th time. Dance as far as count 40 (ending
with the right side rock) You will be facing front wall. RESTART the dance
(this will be the 7th repetition of the 56 count pattern). Again you
will end facing back wall. The BREAK happens again for 4 counts. Do
the heel presses and the arm movements. Start the 8th and final pattern
of the dance. Dance will end facing front wall. On the last count
(56) step your right foot together as you do the same arm circles you
did on the break.

Here's the pattern in brief: 56, 56, 48, 56, 56 + break, 40, 56 + break, 56
