Easy and great song, it tells you what and when to do it.

First Move: Shake. Relax your body, I want you to be super cool and confident. OTS stat to shake your body. Add style and dance your shake. or isolate different or multiple body party. Shaking is great for you and your body. What other body part can you shake and haven’t tried to yet? Show off your style. Be cool and groovy with your shake. Do it your way, let’s see how you dance it. Shake what you got!

Second Move: pony-walk or pony (123-123). Stay cool, relaxed and confident. Put a little whip walk or pony, little 123, 123 in your feet, Do what feels good for you, Keep it small and cool. Do it your way. Show me how you dance your walk or pony. What can you do with your arms? Let your style show on your face. Have you gone backwards yet? Be creative with your body, you can’t get it wrong just let your arms dance with your body. What happens when you let your head dance with your body? Try doing it a little different but keep your style and dance it to the music. Your way is the right way. Just dance your body.
