Optional Ending
On the last repetition of section B the song fades out at around count 12 and you will end up facing the back when the music ends – you can replace counts 9-12 with further rolling vine to the right to keep you facing the front wall at the end of the song.
I hope you enjoy this dance – it was lots of fun putting it together and once you have heard the song the sections will all make sense (I hope!). Feel free to email me at glynnrodgers@live.com if you need help.
