END: After you’ve danced the tag the third time, which will be Wall 5 (2:30 mins), the music will slow. Dance counts 1-8 slowly with the music, and replace the Unwind ½ with a quick FULL Unwind left, do the Forward Locking Step, and this will leave you facing 12:00 with the Point Left to the Side, and hold.
