REPEAT

Choreographer's Note:	Using the song "The Monster Mash" you will find 
that you are dancing the Monster Walks/Arms to the chorus of the song. 
However, after dancing the complete dance 3 times, repeat the 
Monster Walks/Arms (Steps 33-44), and then start again.  (There is an 
extra verse after the third verse in the song but goes with the Monster 
Walks/Arms--then the Monster Mash chorus begins and (to go with the song) 
repeat the Monster Walks/Arms and then begin again.  The rest of the song 
works great and the Kids (of all ages) love it!!

2nd Note: Monster Walks:  when going from right to left, move swiftly from
the right to the left walking forward.
