On count 2, both arms should be folded in front of you at chest level. On the 3 sways, the arms come up and out to the sides. Then while doing the weave the hands will cross in front on 6, flair out on 7, cross in front on 8, and flair out when you start the dance again.
TAG When using Jennifer Lopez "Ain't It Funny" you will complete 7 rounds of the dance. There's an instrumental bridge on the 8th time through that's 16 beats long with a 4 beat pause. I use 4 side mambos starting with the right foot, and alternating Cuban hand movements. Next add 4 sambas turning ¼ turn to the left on each one, then sway right, left, right, left for the 4-count pause and start the dance over.
