Note: For the track Sin Wagon - in the middle of the song there is a spot
where the beat ends, leaving just the vocals. Don't stop, just keep on
dancing and the beat will kick back in. At the end of the song, the same
thing happens - the beat ends but the vocals keep on. For a big finish,
complete the 1st 8 counts and then stomp right foot forward & hold to end
(you will be facing right side wall.) Enjoy!
