When dancing to Morrison’s Jig the dance concludes facing the front when the music stops around ¾ of the way through the track. Cut the music at this point and finish the dance. If you are feeling energetic, however, the music restarts a few seconds later at a faster pace. If you choose to dance this faster section you will again finish facing the front.
