Note:
RESTART: Only required when using the Michael English song:
Dance up to count 24 – to the end of the Instrumental section. This is done once only………
To help with the phrasing of the dance – After dancing the sequence 3 times (you’ll be facing the 3 o’clock
wall), dance up to counts 1–2&3 in Section 4….and change steps in 4–6 (counts 22–24) as follows…..
On ball of right make ¼ turn left and sway L, R & Hold (weigh ends on right foot)
then restart the dance again from the beginning facing the Front wall
The dance is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine, Eileen Bolton
(who I hope knows that the title is very T.I.C!)
