SWEAR IT AGAIN
Choreographed by: Mikael Mölsä
Music: Swear It Again by Westlife (CD: Unbreakable: The Greatest Hits Vol. 1)
Description: 32 count, 2-wall line dance, SMOOTH (nightclub 2-step) rhythm
Level: Intermediate

Starting point : The dance does NOT start with the lyrics, but when the beat kicks heavily in, at about 0:23.

Note:
The dance's restart comes on wall 4, after section 2 when you have your legs crossed. Instead of stepping over on count 1, just unwind a bit slower. This dance was 95 % done during a travelroute Manchester-Tallinn-Helsinki. Only timings were altered after it.
