BEGIN AGAIN!

*Choreographer's note: When using Don't Stop by The Freestylers, there is 1 restart.
You will dance the entire 64 count sequence 4 times through. On wall five (5) you will
start facing original 12:00 wall and dance the first 32 counts of the dance (up to the
side-behind-side step) then start again from the beginning of dance.
From that point on you will dance all 64 counts through to the end of the song.
