Notes:
This could be a fun ‘mixer idea’ danced with counts 17 – 20 holding hands with people next to you and bringing arms up together.
For a funky floor split alternative try’ Rock this Party’/’Ain’t Got No Money’ dance tracks
(or any other steady 4/4 disco beat)You can swap the kick (count 20 for a funky dig F/W with R)and could use 4 shoulder isolations R L R L or hip bumps R L R L (swap counts 29-32))
A dance to HELP teach Sailor Steps.
