Start after heavy beats, approx 13 seconds in - Start weight on L

NOTE: This can be a floor split for harder dances to this track, and owes much to the advanced phrased dance by Shane McKeever, Fred Whitehouse, and Guyton Mundy. Although this dance is long, it's straight counts until the last set and has No Tags Or Restarts. See also Hot Cold Hot for slightly harder options.
