START AGAIN

RESTARTS:
There are two definite breaks in the song. DURING WALL FOUR (6:00), restart
the dance from the beginning after count 24 (count 8 in section 17-24) and
instead of touching on count 24 (8) step side right with the 1/4 turn. You
will then step across with the LEFT to start that wall again from count 1 of
the dance. DURING WALL SEVEN (12:00) the restart is after the very first
section (1-9). But there is a dramatic hold in the music so we've changed
the footwork in the first section a bit. Do wall SEVEN as follows:

1-3	Cross step LEFT over RIGHT, Turning 1/4 left step back RIGHT,
	Turning another 1/4 left step side LEFT (6:00)
4&5	Cross step RIGHT over LEFT, Step side left on ball of LEFT
	(the music break comes in here), Step wide side RIGHT
6-8	Hold drawing LEFT slightly towards RIGHT (then the restart is actually here)
1-3	(Traveling left) Turning 1/4 left step forward LEFT, Turning 1/2 left step back RIGHT,
	Turning 1/4 left step side LEFT (6:00),
	Then continue the dance as usual with the "Calypso Step" counts 4&5 in section one

THIS IS EASY
