Intro: Lyrics - No Tags Or Restarts

Note: This is a revised version of my Torrid Tango line dance which is a 4-wall, 32 count intermediate level.
This revised version is a 2-wall, 64 count intermediate level. The difference is simply an additional 32 counts.
You have the option of doing the first 32-count version or this second 64-count version, perhaps to teach the first version at one class and add the second/additional half at a second class. Also, the dance can now be done as a split floor.
