BEGIN AGAIN
*Phrasing: Choreographer's Note: When dancing to Andy Griggs "You Made Me That Way", on the fifth time through only - add a standard jazz box (Men do: Cross R over L, step back L, step side R, step slightly fwd L - 4 counts - Ladies use opposite footwork) This is an easy fix to stay with the phrasing. Not necessary when dancing to other songs.
