REPEAT
You will do this dance three complete times. At the end of the third time, he just keeps singing the ending over & over. You just keep doing the last 16 steps over & over, but you keep turning and getting together with other dancers till the song ends. The main thing is you must start when he starts singing otherwise the dance will not coincide with the words of the song. It's a lot of steps but it really looks great and it's a lot of fun.
