PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
I want you to listen (not count) for this dance. The chorus will come 3 times. The first 2 times it begins on Count 17 of the Verse steps (Part A). The 3rd time on count 9 of the Verse steps (Part A). Each time you will take 8 counts to prepare for the Chorus steps (Part B). The first 4 counts will be used to adjust the amount of turn so that you get around to the original starting wall. The second 4 counts you will dance in place and clap on 8. Then you will dance the Chorus steps (Part B). Each time you complete the Chorus steps (Part B), you will be facing the original starting wall and start over on the Verse steps (Part A).
