During the "Monster Mash" song there are a number of "breaks" during beats 25-28 use them to your advantage to add to the dance with forward, draw 3 or some such. Have fun! During the "Everybody" song there is a break sequence of 8 beats. Complete wall 9 and then do 4 side leans (as in beats 13-16 but without any overall turn). On the end of the dance complete the sequence beats 29-32 with an extra ¼ left turn, then lean back onto left foot with arms raised to scare!
