RESTARTS:

There are THREE...the first two occur after dancing the first 16 counts of the dance (A),
according to the sequence...the third occurs after dancing the first 12 counts of the dance (A),
according to the sequence.

Sequence:
A, 16 of A then restart facing 3:00
A, B (Tag - then begin next A at 3:00)
A, 16 of A then restart facing 6:00
A, A, 12 of A then restart facing 3:00
A, A
A - to count 21 ending at front: Right foot forward
Here's a tip!
Think 'front wall' as you dance: the Tag and the 2nd and 3rd A's in which you restart after 16,
each begin facing the front (except the 1st one - it begins facing 9:00).
So - it's important to stay alert  every time you come to the front!
