Start routine again until the BEST BIT!...as music builds to its crescendo at 3m 27secs near the end of song after ct 24 (the touch) after L side, tog, side, (or L turning vine, (ct24 touch)
EVERYONE jump as high as you safely & comfortably can on the spot 4 times doing a full turn left (one bounce per beat = ¼ turn, to stop you getting too excited ;) wave arms in the air.
Alternative option to jump: walk around on the spot to the left walking R,L,R,L wave arms in the air, add lots of cheers/whoops as you bounce/walk then: Repeat from start until music fades.
There! Doesnt it feel great to shimmy, all we need now is a sunny beach, if not, let us dance it again anyway, who needs a beach to do the Socca Dance?
Thanks again to Chayanne for an uplifting summery song. Have fun!
