Intro: Start facing 7:30! Do the last 16 counts of the dance (steps 33-48). Weight is on L, be ready to kick R to the diagonal (7:30). Start kicking when you hear the piano strikes the first key (app. 3-4 secs into music). After these 16 counts you’ll start the dance from count 1, facing 12:00, app. 17 secs into track.

Two Restarts: On 4th and 5th walls you have a restart after 32 counts. Each time facing 9:00.
