/The song is 192 BPM but I have written the steps using 1/2
time, cutting down the steps by half as most of them would be
hold counts. The dance is phased to "Talk Of The Town" as the
verses are only 28 counts (in 1/2 time) not 32 as most. When
repeating Part B in the sequence ABB the weight will be on your
right after the 1/2 turn (steps 31&32). So just hop onto the
left as a syncopated step before commencing with the right heel
touches at the start of the 2nd Part B.
/To finish the dance at the end of the song (8 counts remaining
after the above sequence) repeat steps as follows from Part B
