Bridge
Hip Roll, Hip Roll, Clap, Clap, Hip Roll, Hip Roll, Clap, Clap
On wall six Fleur East will sing, “If you wanna hear me sing” three times in a row (3:05). (Previously in the song she sings these lyrics once at a time.) The bridge will coincide with the first two instances of her singing “If you wanna hear me sing” at this point in the song, and will start after count 24 of the dance – the pivot turn. The third time she sings these lyrics you will be finished with the bridge and will continue with count 25 of the dance (omitting the ¼ turn at the beginning as you already did this turn in the bridge.) Less confusing than it sounds. I promise!

Ending: Play the Air Guitar!
At the end of the song you will be facing the front wall and completing your basic Charleston steps. When you touch your R toe back on count 8 there will be a short guitar riff to end the song. Bring your hands up and play along!
Enjoy!
