| is a 4 count count bridge after the 1st and the 5th repertitions, REPEAT THE LAST 4 COUNTS OF THE DANCE. This means you will do | |
| "HEEL AROUNDS" 3 times on those repetitions. It helps to listen for the instrumental section where he whistles to know the secon bridge is coming. | |
| This dance goes really well to many differnt types of swin style songs... use you favorite |
