Alternative Move Recommendation (Optional) - First wall only - Stomp down on R and point hands down for first 4 counts, on the &5 count, pivot 1/2 turn R on L and continue dance as written. (This phrases with the beginning instrumental break)

Important Tag: - Following first 3 minutes of song there is a distinct break in the music (aka "A False Ending") that follows count 8 of the dance.  During this break which consists of an approximate 4 count drum beat, 1&2&3 - Rock Forward R, Recover L, Back R, Recover L, Stomp R; 4 - Hold and wait for music to begin again.  Begin dance again from count 1.  (If you don't want to do this tag, you may just opt to end dance at this point or freeze during break and resume dance from count 1 when music begins)
