Choreographer’s Note: I’ve always liked this song because it has such an interesting rhythm – the verses phrase in measures of 14 – 6 beats and then 8 beats. That’s why the step sheet is written that way. On the 3^rd wall dance up to count 46. Change counts 47-48 to 47&48 by doing a L coaster step back. Restart the dance from the beginning.
