Ending: The music ends during Wall 7 in Sec 3 – on counts 5-6, instead of walking to the diagonal, adjust the walks toward 12:00 and add a final step forward (or full spiral turn left) to end on count 7
Timing: On Wall 6 in Sec 2 – the musical beats are very strong for the point and back sweeps on counts 5-6-7, with a slight change from the usual timing; listen to the music and hit each of those beats
