Choreographer's note:
The first 32 counts of the dance can be danced on their own as a beginner floor split, with a small amendment, replace the figure 8 vine in section 4 with grapevine R, grapevine ¼ turn L. The music is rather long so you may wish to fade it out before the end. This version was the shortest I could find! Script is available separately as Once, Twice, Easily Forever.
