*Choreography note: When choreographing this dance, I added different hand movements for fun ie. When she sings about riding into battle, I held left hand out to hold the reigns of a horse and slap my thigh/butt for the paddle turn simulating a galloping horse. When she says “put your hands up”, I put my hands up. Remember, Dancing should be fun, not so complicated that you are stressed out-- Feel the music, dance the dance!
Dance sequence is as follows: AAA-B-AAA-BB-A to end. Have Fun & enjoy!
