TAG
At the end of wall 6, you will be facing the front wall. After completing the wall,
add on the last 8 beats of the dance again from the cross heel drops.
Then restart the dance as normal.

As the music fades, you complete the first 16 steps and finish the dance facing the
front wall, with right toe pointing out to the right.

This is a beautiful song, and my first dance. I hope you enjoy dancing it as much
as I enjoyed choreographing it. Please feel free to copy and share this dance,
but please don't alter this sheet.
