First move: Fun to start this one with someone in the middle as the “hat” to dance around. Circling around and switching directions. As the song progresses you can switch move to be a Swing Your Partner. Find your partner. Other way. Get ready face your partner! New partner. Find a new partner. Swing your partner. Find a new partner. Maybe a new one. Face your partner.

Second move: Heel-Heel-Heel-Clap-Clap. Again. A little style. Smile. It’s not that serious. Be proud. Have fun with this.
