(Transition step to begin dance again) bring left foot forward next to right very quickly as this will move you right into start of dance with right toe out for count 1
When you dance this to the NSync music you start count 1 on the word "back" at the end of the intro. Also, on the regular single CD version of the song, after you have danced 6 complete walls of the dance, there is a very distinctive 24 count interlude during which you could do 3 8-count sets of swaying rock steps starting forward, side, and then back at the end of which you will begin the dance again and dance as written until finish. If you hate these kind of breaks then get the EP single version, and just fade the music out after 7 walls.
