| EASY RESTARTS: All three restarts are obvious and easy to hear – they are at the end of the verses before Trace starts singing “Swing batter, batter swing. ” On the 2nd, 4th and 8th repetitions, you will only do 28 counts of the dance. To match the music, you may modify the third set of 8 as follows: |
| 1,2 R stomp forward diagonally right (1), hold (2) 3,4 L stomp forward diagonally left (3), hold (4) |
|
| END OF SONG: For those of you that like to finish with style, you’ll be facing 3:00 when the music ends, so do a 1/4 pivot left while raising your hands over your right shoulder as if holding a baseball bat and then swing it toward the front wall with all your might!
