Sequence: AAAA, BC, AA, BC, AA, BC, repeat the last 4 counts of Part C (so you do 4 single bounce steps all together - RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT), C, AAAA, then do the first 12 counts of Part A before going into your grand exit! The drums at the beginning and end of this song make for an interesting entrance and exit to the dance floor. Try stepping on the right foot on count 1, hold count 2, and do an upper body contraction or hip bumps on counts 3 and 4. Continue on the left foot for counts 5, 6, 7, 8. You can really get into the beat here if you just let go!PART A
