Intro 58 counts, you may wait or you may start the whole dance slowly at the first note of the song, (I did change the section II to two turns), don't do the ½ right turn at section V, after 40 counts do the "Don't Stop Me Now" part twice for 16 counts, wait 2 more counts, then start the dance at faster rhythm.
Ending: When the song slows down (facing 12:00), do the dance from section I slowly like the Intro till the song ends.
