First move: Pony 4 – Twist 8. Alright everybody, are you ready? We’re going to do 4 ponies and 8 twists so it goes something like this. Pony 2, 3, 4. Now twist. Pony. Now twist. That’s it. Travel somewhere. Twist it out with someone. Go somewhere new. Put your style in it. A little Motown style. Yes. Get your arms dancing. Bend those knees and use your levels in the twist. Here we go! You can even put a little 60’s in those arms. Even your head is dancing. Let’s see your face dancing too! Yes! You can have a dance party with someone else. Where else can you take it? Stick out different body parts and see what happens on the twist. So much style. A little 60’s dance party. You can’t get it wrong. Your way.

Second move: Step Touch (When you hear Oh). Travel. Put your style in it. You can’t get it wrong. Where can you go? Arms dancing.
