* There are two tags: At the end of wall 1 (facing 9 o'clock) and wall 4 (facing 12 o'clock) repeat the reverse rhumba box two more times (16 counts in total) to restart the dance when the music restarts.
Note: We wanted to use the tags in this dance to give beginners practice at listening for restarts. The extra Rhumba boxes are a nice "holding pattern" that make it easy to hear what is coming without having to think about it too much.
