Start again

Ending Wall 7 is your last wall (starts at 12:00). When doing the L mambo on counts 29-31 leave out the ¼ L.
Instead, on count 31 you step a big step back on L dragging R towards you 12:00

Fun option! On wall 5 (starts at 12:00) you have some extra strong beats from counts 45&46&47 (during your L vine).
To hit those beats change the L vine to an extended chasse, like this: 12:00
[45 – 48] ... Extended L chassé, Hold
5&6&7Step L to L side (5), step R next to L (&), step L to L side (6), step R next to L (&), step L to L side (7) 9:00

8Hold (8) … weight is on L and you’re ready to step to the R into your R vine with a ¼ R … 9:00
