**You will dance the above steps when facing front or back walls. On side walls either execute the box with toe struts, step touches or step holds. When teaching the dance it’s easier to work in the claps when you play the music and if you get it wrong the claps are in the music to help you. The claps come on the ‘&2’ counts 1st time through on the ‘4&’ 2nd time through, on the ‘&6’ 3rd time through and on the ‘&8’ last time through.
