5th Wall (12:00): A, A-1 with special ending (see below) - First half restart
When dancing to "Fever", do original routine below for walls 1-4, then, because of this longer song, do the total dance on walls 5 and 6. When dancing to "Dance On", there is no sequence needed. Just dance AB, AB, AB, etc
