Music:  Get Ready 4 This by  2 Unlimited (Use the version on Jock Jams Vol. 1)
Country Music: Down Came A Blackbird by Lila McCann (104 BPM) 
(Teaching Song) (CDX-161)
Love Travels by Kathy Mattea (116 BPM) (Practice Song) (CDX-167)
Rodeo Rock by Jimmy Collins (130 BPM) (Dancing Speed) (CDX-110 & 168B)

Instructions: Get Ready 4 This, is track 2 on the CD, 
but I always play the last 11 seconds of track 1 where it says 
"Let's get ready to rumble!"  The dance starts about 15 seconds into track 2, 
immediately after the break and where they say "Are you ready for this?"
Note:  After repeating the following 64 count sequence twice, 
there is a 4 beat break in the music.  Hit the break, do a body roll, 
anything, then start the sequence over again.
