PART B (16 counts) Start of phrase begins at 6:00 and ends at 12:00, except when it is repeated which is at 12:00
Music & Lyrics Hint: ‘let’s break the mold’ and ‘we’re walking out’ as well as ‘step 1-2’ and ‘make history’ for the repeat B

Easy Option 1-4: step out R (1); touch L behind (2); step out L (3); touch R behind (4)
Advance Option 1-4: Add an opposite kick at the same time you replace your foot after the first kick! (kick-kick-hitch).
[*TAG* HERE after REPEAT B]: Cross L over R at end of (repeat) Part B (8), unwind ½ turn right over 4 counts, then start Part C (turn that ¼ right to 3:00 to start C).
PART C (32 counts) Start of 1st C-phrase begins at 3:00. Start of 2nd C-phrase begins at 9:00.
When you do a 3rd C-phrase in the sequence, you will begin at 3:00.
Clock notations below are for the 1st C-phrase beginning at 3:00 only.
Music & Lyrics Hint: ‘march to the beat’ and ‘left right left’ and ‘standout’. Also, the 3rd in a row Part C, is basically an instrumental phrase (only background vocals ‘left-right-left’ repeats quietly).
C [a1~8]: QUICK ¼ R TURN, MARCH-HOLD R L, ROCK-RECOVER-BACK, OUT-OUT**
(or ROCK-RECOVER, ½ PIVOT TURN R, ½ CLOSE TURN R, OUT R**)

1-2,3-4R step forward (1); hold (2); L step forward (3); hold (4)
5 & aR rock forward (5); recover back onto L (&); small step back (a); pause through count (7)
& 8L small step out to left (&); R small step out to right (8)
Arm Styling 1-4: (should feel natural to do) arm bent, elbow out, and forearm chest level, L with R step and R with L step
**Optional R FULL SYNCOPATED TURN 5-8:
5 & aR rock forward (5); recover back onto L (turn the L foot inward) (&); ½ turn right stepping onto R [9:00] (a);
& 8Close L next to R while making ½ turn R, taking weight on L [3:00] (&); R small step out to right (8)
Musicality: *Counts 5-8* go with the lyrics ‘diff-rent-drum’ and ‘we do/that’. (Dance to lyrics and not counts)
C [9~16]: LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT HIP-HOP-HITCHES, dance to OUR OWN RHYTHM** OR HIP PULSE-CIRCLES
1&2&lift L knee (from hip) (1); step down onto L (&); lift R knee (from hip) (2); step down onto R (&)
3&4lift L knee (from hip) (3); step down onto L (&); hold (4)
5,6,7,8**The lyrics are ‘to our own rhythm’ on every Part C (rhy-thm being 2 hits). There are SO many ways to interpret this; through hip circles, quick sways, hip thrusts, ‘flossing’, off beat hip thrusts, hands together and snaking them down with bent knees…try something!
However** since I know you’re not always feeing creative here’s a basic 4 count:
5,6,7,8with feet apart, generally split weight, rock hips forward to L (5); rock hips back to R (6); rock forward to L (7); and circle counter-clockwise back to R (hip circle(s) (8) (try syncopating this basic movement to the lyrics)
C [&17~24]: HEEL GRIND-ROCK-RECOVER R L, ¼ TURN JAZZ BOX
&1, 2quick weight change to L (&); R heel press forward, toes turned to the left (1); rotate toes right (angle body and with L foot) while returning weight to L (2)
&3, 4&step R next to L (&); L heel press forward, toes turned to the right (3); rotate toes left (angle body and with R foot), while returning weight to R (4); step onto L (&);
5,6,7,8R step across L (5); L step back (6); R step ¼ right [6:00] (7); L step forward (8)
C [&25~32]: QUICK FORWARD STEP WITH ARMS, PUSH-SKATES R L
&1, 2pushing off L, quick step forward onto R (&); step L next to R, while bringing arms out and slowly up (1); hold (2)
3, 4pulse body into the floor (through slightly bent knees) to mark time (finish arm movement) (3-4)
5, 6pushing off L, swivel stepping R to right angle* (5); coming back to center, touch L toe next to R (6)
7, 8pushing off R, swivel stepping L to left angle* (7); come back to center, leave R in place, weighted mostly L (8)
*Arm Styling 5-8: Think ‘disco thumbs.’ Skate R, with R arm/hand to right, and left hand/arm back (5);
Skate L, with L arm/hand to left, and right hand/arm back (7)
(BEGIN AGAIN, and most certainly DWYF!)
