Choreographer's Note: To keep to the phrasing of the music...There are Two 4 count tags
First one on the end of Wall 4 (12:00)
Second one is where the music Fades - Wall 6 (6:00)
On Both Tags: Counts 1-4...Sway Left, Right, Left, Right

Second Track "It Matters to me"
1 Restart
You do 8 counts on the third wall and restart from the beginning (12:00)
The Westlife Track we found to be a little slow and we pushed the speed up +8
The second track is a favourite track of ours, and fits the dance very well, slightly faster
