Teach track: The Blue Pages by Noah Gordon from The Most Awesome Line Dance Album 5 (dance right through using the same phrasing) BPM: 145

Section A: 64 counts - core dance
Section B: 40 counts - completes verse
Sequence: AB (first verse) A (chorus) AB (second verse) A (chorus) then continue with A to end

kept deliberately simple.
