**Explicit language

This song has three distinct styles: 1-hip hop 2-flirty 3-crazy, ugly, fun!

First move: walk 2, dance 2 – begin with lots of attitude. Talking with your hands, dancing low and hip hop style. Get creative with the body in the dancing!

Second move: flirty walk – I usually encourage high on tippy-toes, like Stilettos, so they can work with foot strength and flexibility.
Lots of hips and shoulders here, looking at each other flirty and touching your own body and hair!! Really expressive!! It’s good practice to love ourselves so much!

Third move: dance 3 “UGLY”, accent on 4 – now this is the coolest ugly you can create! Dance really crazy, wild, out of control and then accent that 4th best.
Really let loose, travel a little or don’t, mix it up and be sure to use your face in the accent for more creativity and fun!! Transitions
