| The dance ends with the music on the step ½ pivot (counts 31-32, facing the 3:00 wall). Slowly turn ¼ left on ball of left foot and lunge side right (now facing 12:00 wall - the front). Shrug shoulders slowly. Present arms (palms up, at body center) and separate out away from body as you say (with the song), "but Darlin', I was only havin' a good time." |
| The song "The Right To Remain Silent" has a 4 count tag. The dance is not phrased for the tag, but it works. |
