Note: Make sure that the lines are staggered so that the dancers can pass through the opposite
line, especially considering the following eight counts. The effect of not staggering the lines
would not be totally unpleasant if the dancers that are facing each other are of the opposite sex.
However, the sight of two guys scooting towards each other in this manner is not that pleasant.
