CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: Steps 45 to 64 are always done when they are singing 'Oh no I can't Stop Doing The Hale Bop Boogie' or when the instrumental section reach's that point (YOU CAN TELL)

The bridge is done twice in the whole song! These are: If you begin the dance on the music then you complete three walls before each of the bridge sections If you start on the lyrics then you do the bridge first after two walls, then after three walls
For The False Ending you may do what you please here! I can suggest Two 1/2 Monterey Turns, or 1/4 Monterey turns, feel free to do what you think When the music re-starts then start the dance again As long as you are all facing the same way
