Sequence: Intro, A, B, A, B (minus counts 31-32), Tag, A (minus the very last step), last 16 counts of A, B.
Ending: You automatically end towards 12:00 when finishing your last B. For added styling raise your arms in a WHAT??? position when the girl says ‘What? I don’t understand’… ;-)
NOTE!!! Please use the clean version of the track! If you don’t have the clean version then contact me and please be cautious where and when you play the track. Typically you’d play this track after midnight at an event when all the die-hards are left. Hence the name: ‘Past Midnight’…

ENJOY! And… FUNK it UP!!!!!………
Sequence note: When doing A the 3rd time (starts facing 12:00) you leave out the very last & count of the A section. This means you only do counts 47-48 – the kick ball side step.This means you now have the weight on your L foot and you’re ready to do the last 16 counts of A again (which will take you to your 9 o’clock wall). From here you only have your last B to do.
Arm note: you can easily leave out all arm movements, in other words: they are optional. However, they are in the choreography to underline the funky hip hop style. Your choice!
