REPEAT FROM SECTION 1

NOTE: ‘Cause you start on 2 of music (in according with international latin federations) the count of music are not the same count of steps. But to be more simple I’ve chosen to begin the count of steps on 1, so the change weight don’t be on 4-1 but on 3-4. It’s just a technical note for Latin teachers and dancers.
