***Note: The 6 beat tag is only done on the 1st, 3rd and 5th time you do the dance,

this is simply to keep the phrasing of the music. It is done at the end of the dance

(After beat 42) each time. Also on the 6th wall or 6th time you do the dance, you will

notice the music slowing down and stopping for a short period. Here you finish doing

the first 21 beats of the dance (This should be on the words "My") then hold there

where you are at wait for the words "Life" to be sung before continuing the dance as

you normally would. Dance should finish on beat 33 after this break.
