REPEAT
If dancing to "Lead Me Not" by Lari White, it is necessary to add a tag after the 3rd repetition to make it fit musically. It's an instrumental break and easy to pick up after hearing the music a couple of times.
After the third repetition you will start facing the back wall. Do counts 1-24, and then start again from count 1. It is only necessary to do the tag once.
If using the suggested song, start after the 24 count intro on the word "should".
