Repeat ****** Tag: At the end of the 3rd wall, facing the front, add: --- Slowly cross RIGHT over LEFT (2 counts), step LEFT back (2 counts), step RIGHT to RIGHT side (2 counts), step LEFT forward (2 counts). ** The original dance sheet has the dance as 112 counts, with counts 105-112 at normal speed, ie: 105&106, 107&108, 109-112. The counts I have given above (105-108, 109-112, 113-120) were how I was taught the dance - by the choreographer. The longer count fits the music and has the tag in the right spot so is without doubt the correct count. I have also corrected two minor mistakes in the original dancesheet.
