INTRO
The dance begins after 32 strong beats, but starting during the soft introduction we have this fun option. Keep in mind that L.A. is on the WEST Coast (left on the map) and New York is on the EAST Coast (right). In the introduction when she says "L.A.", point both hands to the left and downward. When she says "New York", point to the right and upward. Just before the dance starts, she sings a high "WOOOOO", so raise both hands, gospel style.
