(To link to the start, think of "Kick-Ball-Change-Ball-Back"
where "back" is count 1 of the dance)

*NOTE: Counts 3,4,5&6 will blend together and you'll probably
still be turning on the shuffle. That's fine!

****RESTART: When dancing to "South Of Santa Fé", you will dance
3 walls straight through and on the fourth wall (back) only the
first 24 counts, ending stepping back onto right. Restart the
dance from the count 1 facing the back wall.

At the end of the music, to end the dance facing the front wall,
(Australian influence!) dance counts 33 to 38 as normal then do:

39-40	Step right to side with 1/4 turn right (to face front wall), hold
41	Take a large step left to side
42	Slide right together to fit music
