REPEAT

RESTART
On the 4th wall - on the instrumental section of the song - you will start this section facing original 9:00 wall and dance the first 48 counts only. The last part of this instrumental section is a series of drum beats and I think that there is actually a 9th beat - if my counting is correct, simply leave that as a 'hold' before starting at the beginning of the next phrase. You then start over from count 1 facing the front wall.
