Start after 16 counts, about 11 seconds in when you hear the piano chord the second time she sings "I got fire under my feet." NOTE: the music goes off phrase but returns, so Restarts are not necessary.
Counterclockwise rotation; start with weight on L - No Tags Or Restarts

Thanks to Judy McDonald for her feedback and suggestions, and to my students for their patience as this dance evolved.
