**There are NO TAGS OR RESTARTS when using Dizzy :)

**Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go) only:
TWO TAGS: Simply repeat all eight counts of Section 4 when the chorus lyrics repeat, 'Free and easy, down the road I go.' This occurs at the ends of Wall 1 and Wall 6, both while facing 3:00. It is easy to hear and flows naturally with the music.
RESTART: Start Wall 2 facing 6:00 and restart after dancing 16 counts (after ¼ Sailor Step), while facing 3:00. Music cue: restart at the end of the instrumental section.
ENDING (optional): The last wall is Wall 11, which starts facing 6:00. Dance a ½ (rather than ¼) R Jazz box during Section 4 to end facing 12:00:
1-4Cross R over L, ¼ Turn right stepping L back (9:00), ¼ Turn right stepping R fwd (12:00), Step L fwd

5-8(Dance same as counts 5-8 in Section 4 above)
