Phrasing of chorus and verses could vary from mix to mix of this song. Just dance to the words!
At worlds we substituted vines left and right for verse 1. Walk forward with kick, back with stomp for verse 2. Rolling vines with claps for verse 3
Also instead of flicking hands to left and right side in the "Hands Up" chorus we brought the right hand forward and to right for 4 counts and then our left hand forward and to left for 4 counts
Add a ¼ turn to any of the vines and make it a four wall dance.
