Lovely song which needed phrasing to make it work, SO:

At the end of the WALL 1 facing back:
Dance the first 8& counts of the dance and RESTART
At the end of EVERY wall facing front:
Dance the first 4& counts of the dance and RESTART

ENDING: Final time facing front, dance first 22& counts then add the following:
Turn ¼ left step L side, cross step R over L & strike a pose!
