Â
Choreographers’ Note: After the 3rd & final Tag (facing front) the music stops for 12 beats then continues.
Rather than create a longer tag to cover those 12 counts, we chose to end the dance earlier because it’s a long song.
Feel free to freestyle during the 12 counts of silence & restart if you want to keep dancing our dance four more times, still ending in the front. xo
