To make the dance fit with Johnny Earle's version, after the 3rd sequence (after the chorus & facing the back wall) you'll hear the same 16 counts as at the intro:
1-16Repeat the first 8 counts of the dance twice, and start the dance from the beginning
After the 6th sequence you'll be facing the front wall, where there is an 8 count Tag before Johnny sings the second chorus:
1-8Repeat the first 8 counts of the dance once only, and start the dance again from the beginning
For a grand finish in section 4 (count 5): point right toe forward and spread both hands outwards and hold!
