Choreographers Note: When using the music "Fais Do Do" be aware of the phrasing-

 32 and 54 counts alternately  all the way through. The dance will fit perfectly to this pattern when danced as follows:-
Front & Back walls (32 counts) Dance all steps 1-32.

Side walls (54 counts) Dance steps 1-22, then start again from 1-32

Other music - just keep to steps 1-32 all the time.
