Each row, going from "Front-To-Back" starts 4 beats apart. In other words, the first row starts after the "5-6-7-8", there is a second "5-6-7-8" and the next row starts, followed until all the rows have begun. It's especially fun because the sequence brings us to the end of the dance and the "clap-clap-stomp-stomps" are loudly heard from row to row!
