Choreographer’s notes:
It is nice to finish a dance facing front and this one is no exception –
when dancing to "Just Out Of Reach" the music during the last wall finishes at the end of
Sect 2 . Simply replace the ½ turn (steps 7-9) with a ¼ turn, step back and hold
(replacing steps 10-12).
Any other music used – well, just improvise, I’m sure you’ll think of something to make
that final step at the front. Cheers - Di
