Notes: The track for this dance allows you to add your own styling. Here are some options
You can add shoulder rolls when walking backwards on counts 5-7 on section 3.
You can replace counts 8& on sections 1-3 with chest bump to match the strong beats in the track.
Add your own style to make this dance sexy and flirtatious, after all that’s what the track is all about.
