Styling Tips:
* It might help using a 1&a2&a rolling count to assist with the timing * Really step out the first 6 counts, use the last count of the dance to prep and push off into the beginning * Use your arms, feels great * Emphasize all the drags * Travel on the twinkles * Big strides fwd on counts 49 - 57 * Let your body naturally turn while dancing * Hit the breaks of the music in the bridge * Turn to the front wall on count 13 to end the dance | |
