Count:
64
Wall:
4
Level:
Intermediate
Starting point: At the vocals, in about 0:25 (at about 0:18 music video version).
Note: There are 3 restarts in the dance. Dance restarts after count 32 on walls 2 and 4 and it restarts after count 56 on wall 5. Also note that the song is NOT from the soundtrack as Johnny Depp does NOT sing on it and the pacing and style of the song are different on it.
Optional ending: The dance ends on wall 8, when you'll be facing first wall. After count 32 you have an additional count when you hear the handcuffs being slapped on Johnny. Strike a pose!
Special note: This dance is dedicated to my sister, Maria Mölsä, to celebrate her 30th birthday.
