Starting point: At the word "hopping" (when the beat comes in) at 0:03.
Note: Tags in this dance are during the breaks in the music after walls 2, 5 and 9. Also, on the wall 13, after the 1st set of 8's when Andy sings "Let's bring it on home, boys...!" the music starts to slow down a little. Continue on dancing on this slower speed for it will hit the 3rd set of 8's perfectly on that wall.
Ending: On wall 13, after the 3rd set of 8's rock forward on your right foot and step right to right side. Then hold a bit and bump your hips. For extra styling, add some extra bumps in it, as there is four trumpets in a row on that wall instead the normal two on normal walls.
For a grand finish, you can after the hip bumps lean to the left holding your hands in the air (like you've been told to raise your arms by the police) and shake the palms of your hands (just like the bad guys in the movie do at the end of the song).
