REPEAT
This is done in a 'round' - not around as in a 'circle dance', but in a 'round'-like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!" Each row, going from "Front-To-Back" starts 4 beats apart. In other words, the first row starts after the "5-6-7-8", there is a second "5-6-7-8" and the next row starts, followed until all the rows have begun. It's especially fun because the sequence brings us to the end of the dance and the "clap-clap-stomp-stomps" are loudly heard from row to row!
