NOTES:

The Dance is written as you hear the music!! (How else???) Which is with the Chorus first, this is then followed by THREE verse sections (32 counts) at the end of the third repeat (Step 32) you will be facing the HOME wall, at this point STEP 32 REPLACES STEP 1 of the chorus section (Cross Left Over Right). Unwind 1 full turn in to the left side shuffle.

When next dancing the verse sections, on the third repeat you will be facing the HOME wall at STEP 28. At this point start the CHORUS SECTION from STEP 1 (Cross Left Over Right). Unwind 1 full turn in to the left side shuffle.
