Sequence Rules:
The General Rule at the end of every A:
- If you are facing the Front Wall at the end of A (12:00): Simply start your next wall on Section A.
- If you are facing the Back Wall at the end of A (6:00): Dance Section B (The Back Wall Slide), and then start your next wall on Section A.
 
Special Walls (Tag on Wall 1 and Short Wall on Wall 6):
- Wall 1 (The Opener): Dance Section A, then Section B (The Back Wall Slide), then add the 4-count Tag to return to the front wall to start Wall 2.
- Wall 6 (The Short Wall): Dance only the first 20 counts of A, then follow with Section B twice (B, B) before starting your next A for Wall 7 (facing 6:00).
