 	REPEAT
Extras 	one of the things that makes this dance special are the "Bridges" in the music. 
 	After the 3rd, 6th and 9th repetition,  you will stand in place and raise both arms over your
 	head starting from the row closest to the wall and travelling along to the back row. 
 	Wait until you see the person in front of you raise their arms, then follow suit, creating a
 	 "wave" effect. That should only take 8 counts each time it is danced. You will hear this in the music!
 	Don't worry about counting the repetitions. The extras will happen on the side walls and the back wall only.
Notes 	1 The music is available on the movie soundtrack "The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane"
 	2 This dance was created for the Faast Country Cruise 2000, and was choreographed in 
 	Miami the night before we left to board the ship. We all had a good time dancing this on the ship, 
 	and thank  Jo Thompson for coming up with the idea!
