Ringtone (aka Marimba)

Starting point: If you include the intro, at the first beat, at about 0:04. If not, start the dance at about 0:13.

 

Note: The dance has one easy 4-count tag after the 3rd wall. Also, there’s an ending and option of including the intro should you wish to implement it. On wall 7, the music seems to slow down. Keep up the pace and the beat will kick in nicely on the next wall. The music style is West Coast Swing, so keep the dance flowing rather than bouncy or sharp.

 

Ending: After the last wall (wall 9), you’ll be facing facing 3:00 and have 4 counts left. Turn ¼ to left, raise your right hand and look at your hand as if you’re looking who’s calling you and the on count 4 “end the call” by pressing your right thumb at the phone (in the music you hear the phone click). Or however you end your call on your phone!

 

OUTS AND INS WITH HOLDS

Note: On some walls you can hear in the music an additional beat. On those walls feel free to add an additional & -count after count 8 and replace the hold with two small hops (counts 8&).
