Yeah I know, it's not technically a sequencial dance, but it was a lot easier to

explain to my class than 6 restarts. But for those out there who would prefer to call

as such then be my guest. Enjoy the dance guys, it's much easier than it looks on

paper once the sequence is locked into the brain.
