Intro: 32 counts from first beat in music (app. 18 seconds into track).
Start with weight on L foot.

Note: After 16 counts DURING your 6th wall the music changes to a slightly slower speed over the next 32 counts into 7th wall… just keep on dancing!

Extra note:
This is a floor-split to Rachael McEnaney’s Int/adv dance Sentimental.
In this way our beginners can get on the floor to the same music… Thanks Rachael.
