HELPFUL HINTS... (1) When doing the first 8 counts...both elbows bent, and both hands in fists.. right arm is up, like pulling, left arm is horizontal with fist touching right elbow...kind of like in the old hand jive. (2) Since the song is so long, towards the end, start "the train" and do some funky stuff with it, such as bending real low, kicking legs out, and spiraling in and out of a circle! VARIATION If you want to make it more difficult...when doing the pull in cross part.. when pull elbows in, jump both feet out to the sides... when crossing your arms, cross your feet right over right...then unwind while the double pull...then vine from there.
