REPEAT

RESTART:
After two complete walls when you again start facing the front wall, you only dance 16 counts before starting again. Rather than add another 16 steps as a tag, i decided to use the first 16 counts of the dance and simply make count 16 a "hold', leaving the weight on the left foot so you can restart again, this time facing the back wall
