  CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTES
**

Travels slightly forward on forward step-ball-steps and slightly backwards 

on the back step-ball-steps, thus forming a 4 point star-shape.
*1*

But not crossing behind, that is, step in a circular motion to the left/right, 

stepping directly behind right/left foot.
*2*

Each of these steps is longer than a normal step.
