Daniela:Ladies, you’re basically doing a figure eight. Tap, two, three. And one, two, three, tap. Move your hip when you tap. Up, one, two, three, tap.

Edwin:Gentleman, for us, we place not that much emphasis on the hip, but we still move our hips. One, two, three, tap. One, two, three, tap. One, two, three, tap. A little bit more shoulders than hips for the gentleman.

Now let’s show this from the back side. Five, six, seven, tap. And one, two, three, tap. Five, six, seven, tap. One, two, three, tap. And five, six, seven, tap.
