Note on the four claps: The rhythm pattern of the four claps at the end of Section 1 and Section 3 is a rhythm that would ordinarily never be used in an absolute beginner dance, but since that pattern has long been associated with this song and is also in the music arrangement, dancers should be able to pick it up without going into detail about how the claps are counted. The most important thing is that the step immediately after the four claps needs to be counted as count 2.
Suggested ending: Song ends at the end of Wall 6, facing 6:00. Step RF forward and pivot 1/2 turn left to face 12:00.
