START DANCE AGAIN!!

NOTES: On dance repetition sex - only dance the first 24 counts of the dance then start again.
This is easy to remember as this section falls in line with the Indian war cry on the song
- listen and you'll know what I mean.

This is a contra line dance - and should be danced facing someone. In this case, the front
row MUST be facing the back of the room, and each line must alternate from that - but you
MUST be facing ONE person who will act as your partner throughout the dance

Throughout the song there are sections that will allow you to add own personal styling to the
dance (we've all seen the movie - so let's get going) - suggest that on wall six, when the
Indian call is played - as you shuffle round in a circle act like an Indian!!

This was done as a bit of fun, and please don't take it too serious.. its all in the aid of
getting people on the floor and having a good laugh - so enjoy it, because we certainly have :-)
