facing the beginning wall for the third time, after count 32, in four counts simply rotate hips CCW |
twice, then continue dance as written. |

This dance works great for more uptempo songs too. |
In counts 25-28 keep Toes in place and shift heels around a little at a time bumping hips to |
the left with each shift to make the 1/2 CW unwind (4 counts) , clapping hands on #28. |
