To match the music, you may modify the third set of 8 as follows: |

R stomp forward diagonally right (1), hold (2) 3,4 L stomp forward diagonally left (3), hold (4) |
|
|
| END OF SONG: For those of you that like to finish with style, you’ll be facing 3:00 when the |
| music ends, so do a 1/4 pivot left while raising your hands over your right shoulder as if holding a baseball bat and then swing it toward the front wall with all your might! |
