BREAK TIME
You knew there had to be at least one! After 4 full rotations of the dance there is a 16 count break - you will be facing the front wall, turn ¼ to left pivoting on left foot, feet shoulder width apart, both arms shoulder height and out to side (right arm right, left arm left) hold for 4 counts; pivoting on right foot turn ½ to right with feet apart and arms out as before, hold 4 counts; pivoting on left foot turn ½ to left, arms out, feet apart, hold 4 counts; pivoting on right foot, turn ¼ to right to face front wall, feet apart, arms out, hold 4 counts. You will travel slightly forward. Start dance from beginning.
The sequence is 4 walls, break, 4 walls as song fades.
