The last 32 beats reflect as closely as possible the steps of "Five" when they perform this song. The dance is meant to be "funky", use your body & bounce with the music. Have Fun!!!
When using the extended mix start after the first 8 beats & when you come back to the front for the first time (5th wall) dance the first 8 beats of the dance twice to allow for the extra 8 beats in the music.
