*The 3rd wall is only 24 counts long, and it is necessary to make 1/4 turn left
on the last count and step Right beside Left so you can restart facing front.

This dance uses the 2 Step rhythm of Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick - a Slow move using
2 counts and a Quick just 1, so each S,S,Q,Q equals 6 counts. Except for 2
instances where extra Quick counts are added, the pattern is constant throughout,
and although there are a few turns, I compensated by making it a 1 wall dance. It
is named for an enthusistic ex-student of mine who arranged a workshop tour to
his native Malaysia and has introduced many of my dances there. The suggested
song is from a 1993 self-titled Shania Twain CD.
