*** When dancing to "The Shake", repeat counts 1-8 when you are facing 
the back wall the 2nd and 3rd time (at the start of the 7th and 11th rotations).  
This will allow you to "Shake it to the left" and "Shake it to the right", 
"Shake it real funky" and "Shake it real low" when Neal tells you to!
