TAG 1: After 3rd repetition, dance first 8 counts exactly as choreographed. You'll be facing 6:00 when you start this tag and you'll finish facing 12:00 to begin again.
TAG 2: After completing 6th repetition, you'll be facing 6:00. As the music quiets, step R forward (1); hold (2); turn 1/2 left taking weight L (3); hold (4). You'll finish facing 12:00 to begin again.
FINALE: As track is ending, you'll be facing 3:00 having just completed Section 3. For a grand finale: step L forward (1); turn 1/2 right (9:00) taking weight R (2), turn 1/4 right (12:00) taking a big side step L (3). Embellish that last step with a nice arm line.
