REPEAT
TAG When you are facing the back for the fourth time, there is a bridge in the music that we need to fill to get back into phrase. Therefore, when you get to the knee pops, instead of doing 4 quick ones, do 8 quick ones, then go back to the beginning of the dance. The dance will then end exactly with the music and your last step will be rock forward, back, forward, step together.
