(After doing the pattern twice, see below.) BRIDGE: In the song "The Swing" there is an extra 8-count of music after the first 64 counts, so, to match that phrasing, we insert 8 extra counts of dancing after 2 walls (64 cts). It happens only once and it's easy - simply repeat the last section twice more: 4 SYNCOPATED STROLLS 1 Step LEFT to left side slightly forward 2& Cross-Step RIGHT behind Left, sidestep LEFT 3 Step RIGHT to right side slightly forward 4& Cross-Step LEFT behind Right, sidestep RIGHT 5 Step LEFT to left side slightly forward 6& Cross-Step RIGHT behind Left, sidestep LEFT 7 Step RIGHT to right side slightly forward 8& Cross-Step LEFT behind Right, sidestep RIGHT End of bridge. Begin again at count 1 and do not repeat the bridge again. OPTION: You will hear a strong accent in the music on count 31 of Walls 1 and 3. At these 2 points it's fun to do a "Safe" arm movement (arms out to sides), deleting 32&. Please consider this only after the pattern and the song are very familiar.
