* On wall 1, 4, 7, 10 & 12 this will happen as the group sings "Everyone will get
a chance to be a star" (the chorus), so on these walls you can raise your hands
in the air and look up after the syncopated jump for added styling.

START OVER AND HAVE FUN

The catch is coming right up...
Too simple to be true or what? YES! You guessed it: There IS a catch!
There is a restart on wall 5:
You dance the first 20 steps, then you start over from the beginning.
You begin the 5th wall at 12:00 and you will be facing 3:00 when the restart occurs.
And a very simple tag on wall 8:
You dance the first 20 steps, then you add the following 4 counts
and then you start over from the beginning.
You begin the 8th wall at 9:00 and the bridge will occur when you're facing the 12:00 wall.
After the bridge you restart at the 9:00 wall.

Tag to be done after the first 20 counts of wall 8:
1/4 TURN SWEEP, TOUCH, KICK FORWARD, SYNCOPATED JUMP BACK RIGHT-LEFT

1-2	Sweep right foot around left while turning 1/4 left (CCW), Touch right next to left

&	Transfer all the weight to the left foot to be ready for the mambo steps
