From the top!
Ending: After the final A, freestyle on the floor! Do whatever feels fun as the music fades.
Nerding out:
If you know me personally, you definitely know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Backstreet Boys (AKA BSB)!
This step sheet took me FOREVER to write, but the timing feels magical. April 2023 is a milestone for BSB as they have been together for 30 years this month! The dance name I chose, "We've Got It Goin' On", is not only a shout out to the lyrics but also a nod to their debut single of the same name. It was released in 1995. (I was 10 years old! I didn't actually come to know them until I was 12 though.)
Additionally, all 5 members of the group have songwriting credits on "Happy Days", the track for this
dance. All those things make my heart smile and make me especially excited that I was inspired to choreograph something to this particular song.
A final note:
Make this dance your own. Style it however it feels good ***to you***. Above all else, HAVE FUN!!!!!
