Restart happens after 16 counts of Wall 8. The “Can’t Help Falling in Love” section comes to a complete stop and an instrumental section starts that continues to the end of the dance.
Music/Ending note: There are two versions of this song, 3:25 and 3:09. I used the version that is 3:25 because the dance ends after section 4, facing 12:00. The 3:09 version is from the Some Kind of Wonderful movie soundtrack and has a slightly longer intro and a shorter instrumental section at the end. If you use the 3:09 version, the dance will end facing a different direction.
