Repeat dance again

Choreographer's Note: At the start of the dance when the music is soft
and flowing, omit the heel bounces to give the dance a softer feel! Do
two walls without the bounces and then continue the dance as normal
until the very last wall when the music softens again. Finish the dance
on the lunge forward, straightening up without the turn.
