*Note: The final choreography for the movie was sampled from Nick Pauley’s originally proposed choreography. For this reason, the line dance does not match the movie exactly, except where the sampled parts line up with the action. The line dance was kept as close as possible to Nick’s original audition recording, which is in wide circulation. Minor changes were made for the dance to fit with line dance practicality.
