Begin again... TAG: 9-10 Hold the pose for 2 extra counts This is the simplest tag ever (maybe). The phrasing of "Abriendo Puertas" calls for a 2 count tag at the end of Wall 9, which starts on the front wall. It is not necessary to count walls as this is an INSTRUMENTAL section which stands out strongly from the rest of the song. It is important to realize that this instrumental section has the same 34-count phrasing as the intro, so add 2 counts to the end of the pattern.
Helpful Hint: A few more walls after the tag when you start on the front wall again, notice that this is another instrumental section. This is your clue that the end of the dance is coming up at the end of this instrumental pattern.
