This is an easy alternative to use as a floor split with “Girl Power” by Ward, McLaughlin, & Vane. The dance is a beginner’s dance, but I’ve classified it as Easy Intermediate because of the 2 Restarts and 1Tag. The final 8 counts of this dance are the same as “Girl Power”.

On count 1, step right to side with left hand on hip and right arm extended up with fist. Hold for 3 counts. Start dance again.
Note: During tag weight should be evenly distributed on both feet, but you must do a quick weight transfer to the left before starting the dance again.
Ending: Dance ends facing 12:00. Step to right and strike the same pose as the Tag.
