The bumps hit the musical accent at the end of the choruses– (Re)-peat- peat- peat- peat-peat
Ready to add a little styling and variations? For those teaching experienced beginners, here are a few ideas:
• Give the step touches a funky look:
Step to the diagonals, leading with the hip and shoulder, using a larger than normal step
Take the arms away from body to low V on the ‘step.’ Bring the arms in on the ‘touch.’
These steps are now on right and left diagonals rather that straight forward (cool)
• Finish the stylized step touches on the left diagonal and do the rocking chair facing 10:00
• Replace the weave with a 3 step turn.
