*** The music is a 32 count phrase. This dance was done for a different piece of music BUT, fits this beautifully.
As the 1st three phrases are 96 counts, so are two full patterns.
Then do the tiny Tag and Restart. That happens twice. 2 full patterns and Tag/Restart.
Dance pattern through 2 more times and you will finish in the first 8 counts on the third pattern facing 9:00***** 48,48,16&, 48, 48, 16&, 48, 48, finish in the first 8…..****

HAVE FUN!
