Version notes:
(A) For Debut album version (4:59) with two breaks (3rd and 6th wall) start
dance after 8 count lead in. The breaks are 2 counts and occur at the end
of Section 5 both times. Pause after completing 5, right arm straight out to
side, palm facing out. Resume Section 6 when beat kicks in. No tags or
restarts required.

(B) For the single release (3:34) start dance after 16 count lead in. You
dance the first 16 counts, then restart from the beginning, dance through
Section 5, shift weight to the left on the & count and restart a second
time. No more adjustments necessary.
