REPEAT

Choreographer’s Note:

The two letters on the right of each line represent the direction you should
be facing (North, South, East, or West), and the foot your weight should
be on (Left or Right) *after* you complete the line.  You shouldn't need to
consult that unless there's some confusion about the instructions. 
And I would, of course, be happy to help with any problems.
