The Floor - Johnny Gill : (Preferred version: CD single, pop edit #1 ; LP version available on Provocative, 20th Century, 3:41)
Start dancing with main vocal (first verse: "Bottoms up"); 16 seconds in on pop edit; 58 seconds in on LP version.
Important note: the third repetition is a short wall – you will only do the first 40 counts of the dance then start over (this happens when you're facing 9:00). On the LP version, you can get an extra wall in by starting earlier, with the main beat (about 24 seconds in); this means the short wall will be the 4th repetition (you'll be facing 12:00).
