REPEAT

RESTARTS
The 2nd and 3rd time that you repeat the pattern on the original wall. These are the only sequences in the song that are instrumental (no vocals).
When you begin count 1 on the original wall for the second time (i.e., 5th wall) you will encounter a 16-count phrase. After completing count 16, begin dance again with count 1 (instead of 17), and you will be "on phrase."
When you begin count 1 on the original wall for the third time (i.e., 9th wall), you will again encounter a 16-count phrase. Again, after completing count 16, begin dance again with count 1 (instead of 17), and you will be "on phrase."

FINISH
The last count of the song takes you to count 1 on the wall ¼ left of original wall. For this count step forward toward original wall and stop (instead of stepping toward ¼ left wall)
