--------

*1* The original sheet (see choreo's website) does not specify the
direction of this shuffle. A side shuffle appears to be correct, as
I have written, however beware of other dancers who may interpret
this ambigious step differently. AFAIK, MVL taught the dance with a
side shuffle.

*2* After coming out of the turn on count 24 it is advisable to end
with the left foot beside the right in order to do the next step. With
a 'step, 3/4 pivot', as written, you will normally end with the left
foot crossed behind the right. This makes it awkward to do the next
step. It is easier (and neater) to step the left foot to the right
diagonal (ie: cross) and then pivot (or unwind) - the feet will then
be in the proper position to do the next step.
