Start Again (have fun)

Restarts: Restart dance after 32 counts on walls 2 & 5

Caution: At the end of wall 7 the music fades away on beat 60. Keep going, you have 1½ walls left, the music picks up again. (Don’t get caught out!)

Ending: Dance ends on wall 9. Dance the first 31 steps then end the dance with a half turn right back to the front wall.

Thanks to Jeanscene for the ending suggestion.
