Repeat

TAG This one is easy folks, really! Even for beginners.
REPEAT the last 8 counts AFTER the chorus and instrumental.
After the second rotation (6:00), after the fourth rotation (12:00),
After the fifth rotation, instrumental (3:00), after the seventh rotation (9:00)

ENDING:
The music really slows down DURING the FIRST 8 counts of the final (8th) rotation. Dance the first 8 counts to the beat of the music, very slow, count 5 hits on the word MOONlight, continue to the slow beat through count 8, hold for two slow counts then continue the next two 8 counts at normal speed.
The dance will end with the two skate / holds forward, facing the 12 o'clock wall.
