Sweet Caroline

Intro: 28 Counts
Sequence: A, A, A, +, B, B, A, A, A, +, B, B, A- (Restart/Tag), B, B

Notes: A is danced facing front and back walls. You will dance 3 A, and then need to dance “+” which is 8 counts to turn you back to the front wall. B is only danced facing the front and you will always dance B twice in a row. The last time you dance A you only dance 24 counts of it and then add a 4 count tag which brings you back to the front wall to dance B two more times.

Please consider checking out “Love You More” choreographed by Amy Glass and myself to get your dancers ready for this dance. Love You More is part “A” of Sweet Caroline.
