Choreographers Note: Don’t be put off by the Restarts. The full dance is quite straightforward.
When it comes to the Restarts, it’s just a case of dropping the Cross Mambo’s (last 4 counts)

The dance can also be treated as an “A/B” phrased dance i.e.
Walls 1, 2, 4 & 7 (Part A) full 36 counts
Walls 3, 5, 6 + Tag & 8 (Part B) 32 counts only (just drop the Cross Mambo’s)
