Phrasing Notes:
AABBCCD – AABBCCD – AABBCCCD – ABCD
A is always two times in a row except for the last pattern. You’ll finish the first A in your partners spot and the second A back where you started. Make sure you slide face to face with your partner.
B is always two times in a row except for the last pattern. You’ll finish the first B back to back and finish the second B facing your partner again. Partners should be moving opposite directions, not mirroring. B will likely finish with partners in windows instead of directly face to face. This is OK and encouraged.
C is at least two times in a row except for the last pattern. There will be an extra C on the third pattern. During the third pattern, you’ll hear Pitbull say, “Everybody say ‘HEY!’”. We encourage you to shout, “HEY!”
D is always one time. You’ll finish on the opposite side and start a new pattern.
On the fourth pattern, you’ll only dance each section once. You’ll switch with your partner on A. You’ll end up with a new partner (or dancing to the walls) at the end of B. C will stay with your new partner. D will switch with your new partner. It’s a little chaotic and a whole lot of fun…BAMBALAM!
