Style Option: When ‘Part A’ is danced to the chorus bounce your heels during the ½ turn unwind. This goes with the lyrics “baby, baby, baby”.
Make sure to still place weight on the L on count 8.

Ending: At the end of the last B section instead of doing a crossing shuffle, cross you left foot over right for count 7 and unwind a ½ turn for count 8.
This makes you hit the front wall on the word “dance”. Feel free to hit a pose at the end of the turn

This dance placed first in the phrased category at the USLDCC competition at the 2015 Big Bang Dance Classic.
