RESTART When dancing to "Distant Thunder," there are an extra 16 counts before the 2nd verse. You will already have finished two full repetitions of the dance. Do the first 16 counts as usual; then when Barry starts singing again, START over from the beginning of the dance. In other words, you will do the first 16 counts of the dance twice in succession
