Note: 88 BPM is used for the dance even though the song could be counted as 176 BPM.
The steps on count 5&6&7&8 in S2 and S4 feels faster than normal to hit beat in the music at some parts,
so a tip is to take smaller steps than you normally would do and then later expand to a comfortable level :-)
Sequence: Repeating sequence.
