***The Walk 4, Step Touch 2 can be modified as a Walk 4, Slow 2. Choose the option that works best with your group since the step touch can be pretty fast.***

First move: Walk 4, Step Touch 2. Walk 2, 3, 4, Step Touch x2. Walk 2, 3, 4. Step Touch x2. That’s it. Now take it through the room as funky as you can. Let’s see your head moving. Your face. Lots of personality. Walking between and around each other. Can you bring your shoulders to the party? Let’s see your own unique style. You have a lot of space in this room. Maybe try a different direction. Play with your step touch. Have you tried a turn somewhere? That’s it. Whole body is dancing. As funky as you can. If you want to sing it, go right ahead. Have you taken it low yet? You can’t get this wrong. How many ways can you do that step touch, maybe go to the front, or behind. Let’s see more body parts moving and grooving. Interacting as you go by someone. Show how super freaky you are! You can’t get it wrong. That’s it!

Second move: She’s Alright Combo (point she’s alright 3X, that girl’s alright with me, melt come up and jump and or punch hey hey hey).
