Intro: Starts after 8 counts at vocals.
Sequence: A, A, B, A, B, A, 16cts ending
(Note: For the 2nd and 4th eight (section) of A, the dancer is required to dance following the lyrics of the song.
For example: During the 1st rotation of A, Elvis sings 'Snap Your Fingers' and then later 'Clap Your Hands'. So
A1 - Snap Fingers & Clap Hands refers to that.
Refer to end of page for steps to the 2nd and 3rd rotation of A:
A2 - Bump Hips & Stomp Feet; A3 - Head Turns to the Left & Right)
