Shake Your Rump

This is a very short "dance" that the younger crowd loves, especially college age. Simpler than the Macarena, if that's possible. It's a good song/dance for people just starting out. Every place I have shown it, people took to it instantly.

CORNERS OF THE SQUARE, CLAP

(The way I taught the dance, I asked the class to visualize a square painted on the floor, and they were going to step on the corners.)

HIP ROLLS AND ¼ TURN

REPEAT

When you do the ¼ turn and start dance over, your left foot is in the bottom left corner of the box and your first step will be your right to the upper right corner. You can do all sorts of variations in place of the 4 beats of hip rolls, for example: Hop forward on both feet four times Do four ¼ turns, tapping your foot outwards on each turn Applejack four times
