**For this one, you can start with the Butt Kicker, then teach them the Country Shuffle (1-2-3). If they struggle with the Country Shuffle, just have them go back to the Butt Kicker. When the Country Shuffle comes into the song, you can let them choose the Butt Kicker or Country Shuffle.**

First move: Butt Kicker. Step and kick your heel to your butt. Easy, chilled and relaxed, You can put your thumbs in your pants, Give it a cool country and bluesy feel. Now travel it around the room. Can you play with directions. Keep your knees bent and really use your legs. Your way is the right way. You can leave your thumbs in your pants or you can let your arms dance with your body. Show your style and personality. Make it feel good. You can’t get it wrong, do it your way.

Second move: Country Shuffle (1-2-3). 1-2-3. 1-2-3. Easy. Relaxed little shuffle. That’s it. Bend your knees a little. Feel free to explore your directions. You can keep your thumbs in your pockets or dance with your arms if you want. Bend your knees and keep it relaxed. Show your country bluesy style. Have you turned it yet? Put your style and personality into it. Your way is the right way.

Third move: Twist. Get your whole body in your twist. Explore your levels. Get your head in it. Stick out different body parts and see what happens. You might try lowering it down. Let’s see how creative you can be with that twist. Maybe lift a leg. Whatever you do, make it feel good for your body. Get your whole body in it. Dance it your way. That’s it! Your way! You can’t get it wrong. Are your shoulders in it?
