*Choreographer’s note: To create a true Beginner Dance, I chose to ignore the 12 count instrumental break and dance through it.
This is essentially a mirrored dance, using the same step pattern for both right & left leads.
It can be taught as a one wall dance by omitting the ¼ turn and keeping the steps smaller as you shuffle back each time.
