REPEAT

	This dance has a stomp that happens at the end and 
	the beginning of each full pattern (count 64 and count 1). 
	The song "Sittin' On Go" will end on count 1 of the 8th 
	pattern. This works out nice with a double stomp at the 
	end of the song. The light stomps in the dance are for 
	the sound they make and for balance. keepin them light 
	makes the steps flow better and really helps with balance.
