BEGIN AGAIN!!!

Tag: The song, "The Right To Remain Silent" has a 4 count tag...not every song is perfect. The dance is not phrased for the tag, but it works.
Ending: The dance ends with the music on the step ½ pivot, (cts 31-32, facing the 3:00 wall). Slowly turn ¼ left on ball of left foot and lunge side right (now facing 12:00 wall - the front). Shrug shoulders, slowly present arms (palms up, at body center) and separate out away from body as you say (with the song), "But darlin' I was only havin' a good time."
