Musical break :
In the « Montana style », tags and restarts do not exist, the most important thing is to follow the rhythm
of the music. That said, at the end of the music « Chain » of Alan Jackson, there is a musical break,
so you have 2 solutions :
- Stop dancing (at 12h, end of 10th walls), and you resume when the music restart,
- Dance the first 8 counts (slowly), stay in the position « arms crossed », and when Alan says « Chain »,
return on L and R next to L (Tutorial on youtube), restart the choreography.
