REPEAT
RESTART
When you dance the fourth wall, you will only
dance up until count 24. At this point you are facing the front wall and you
re-start the dance from count one with the weave.
OPTIONAL ENDING
The dance ends with the music on count
16. If you want to finish facing the front, simply adjust the last sailor step
to turn ¼ to face the front.
