On walls 2, 4 & 7, change the 1st 12 steps to: 1-4 Stomp right foot to right side, hold for 3 counts 5-8 Step left foot to left side, hold for 3 counts 9-12 Stomp right foot to right side, hold for 3 counts. Then continue on with the rest of the dance sequence. (With these changes you will hit the breaks in the music.) Any similarities between this dance & my award winning dance All Night Long are purely intentional-All Christmas Long (Santa's Blues) was a hit last Christmas & with a few changes became All Night Long, a dance that can be enjoyed All Year Long! Think of this as the "Christmas" version! Enjoy! START AGAIN AND ENJOY!
