Tag: After wall 10 you’re facing 06.00. There will be a small tag in the music where someone says: ‘Welkom in Europa, jongen!’ (Wich means ‘Welcome to Europe, man!’) During these four counts, stop dancing, ‘push’ both hands fwd so they’ll cross each other and say: ‘Welcome to Europe, man’ in your own language’
After these for counts, the ‘beat’ drops and a ‘raving/hardcore/gabber’ part in the music starts. During these 32 counts of the music, try to dance the dance more ‘extremely’ then it normally is. Example: instead of a normal grapevine in section one, stomp it. And hitch high. Kick hard fwd., etc.
