For the last eight counts anything goes, basically. You can either twist your feet as above, or, for a more funky attitude, twist on the spot, moving your whole body and see how low you can go as long as you end up with weight on your left ready to start again! Please feel free to add as much styling as you can. It's up to you! For the total Soulful dancer what about a little Contra Line...?!
