The structure of the song makes it necessary to add three restarts and three tags throughout the dance, however, counting wall numbers is pretty challenging on this choreography, instead it is recommend to watch the tutorial and listen to the song a few times. There are cues within the song that flag the moments when the tags and restarts are to be applied.

Cue for Tags: At the end of every chorus, right after the lyrics say “just get your feet on the floor, and dance for your freedom!”
Cue for Restarts:

2.After the first chorus ends there is a musical bridge. Restart is at the end of that bridge right when the lyrics start again
3.At the beginning of the second chorus, after the lyrics say “land of the free and home of the brave… Americaaaa!!!”
Cues for military salute: Touch the right side of the head with the tip of the fingers (military salute)
