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.
