Tips for the 2nd and 4th 8 counts of B:
• From a teaching and dancing standpoint, counts 1-6 will feel like 1 2 3&4 a 6. The 5 happens so quickly and fluidly that it’s barely there.
• If you do not make it all the way around on the ¾ turn (& a), use the 7 & 8 to square up to the wall.
• 7&8 slow down considerably from the previous counts. Do not rush the last two counts.
