First move: 123 accent – Light, quick steps into a little kick, flick, jump feet together or a jazzy arm pose. Play with the music, it’s a great jazzy tune with lots of energy. A little Broadway swing too! Second move: step kick 4/4 shuffles – you will STEP on “DING” and then kick 4, into 4 shuffles or 123’s traveling in and around each other. I like to think about Dorothy and the yellow brick road….celebrating that the “witch is dead”! This is fast and FUN It’s a little brain work and coordination practice so let them know they will get it!
