Note: Personally I like to mess around with the last step of the dance, Sometimes I will add a little jump with the click.

Sometimes I will add an extra full turn. Depending on what the music is asking for. So feel free to play!

 

Special note to my parents who both come to mind when I hear these lyrics...Thank you for raising me like that!!! I wouldn't not be who I am today, if it was not for you...
