**Please note that the timing is a little unusual as section 3 has 9 counts. The other sections all have 8 counts.

**TIMING CHANGE
Walls 4 (starts facing 6:00) & 7 (starts facing 12:00)
Section 3 has 8 counts instead of 9. The steps will remain the same for the whole section, but the timing changes.
Dance counts 1 – 6 (of section 3) then
7,8,9becomes 7&8 (still stepping side, tog, fwd)

This happens on wall 4 facing 3:00 and wall 7 facing 9:00.
