There is an intro of piano music with Sandy singing, then you'll hear the drummer call 1,2,3,4 which you will substitute with 5,6,7,8 and begin the dance!
I'm dedicating this dance to my Intermediate/Advanced class: Crystal Richmond, Laurie Pruitt, Peggy Baddour and Bonnie Ball who all have discovered the "hoochie" in themselves!
