Choreographer's Note: This dance starts when the
artist begins his Lyrics. If using the song "DAY OFF" steps 1-64 is
danced three times when a change in the music made it necessary to add 2 beats (2 claps)
before starting to dance from Step 1 the fourth time. These two extra beats (done one time
only) bring the music and the dance back into harmony Please see the notation after *** at
the end of this document. If using the song "NO NEWS" simply repeat steps
1-64 until the end of the song. There are no musical breaks. ** WT ON L means
weight should be on left foot; WT ON R means weight should be on right foot **
