When doing this dance to "Iko Iko" you will do 4 walls of the 40 count dance as written. At the end of the 4th wall add 4 counts of hip bumps or grind hips in a circular motion making sure to put weight on left when done. For the next 2 walls drop the last 8 counts of the dance for each wall (in other words only do the first 32 counts of the 40 count dance). There is one remaining wall but the music will fade by the 16th count. When doing this dance to "Down on the Corner" or "Then What" or some other music drop the last 8 counts and just make it a 32 count dance all the way thru.
