And over to your left side, left lunge. And up. OK, come up slowly. Shake your body out, and let's get into the dance.

KYLIE WATTS: We're going to start by teaching the first part of the choreography. So we need you to pop your right foot, put your hands on your hips, and your head starts down. On 5, 6, 7, 8, you're going to shoot your arms up and step out. So you go 5, 6, 7, 8. We're kicking our right foot on 1, jump 2, then we flick 3, 4. Make sure your hands are flat there. Then we're going to step to the right on 5 and 6, 7 and 8.

So, let's just break down that little part. When we step, we'll just do our flick first. So, pop your hands on your hips. You step up on 5 and down on 6, up 7, down on 8. And your hands, we just do the hands, your hands go 5 and 6, 7, and 8. Fantastic.

So, we'll just try that little bit. Ready? From the beginning, with heads down, we go out on 5, 6, 7, 8. Kick 1, jump 2, flick 3, 4, 5, and 6, 7, and 8. Now if that's a little bit too tricky, you can just do your arms in that part. So you'll go up on 5 and 6, 7 and 8. Fantastic.

Let's just do that little bit. So, pop your toe, heads down. We step out on 5, 6, 7, 8. Kick 1, jump 2, flick 3, 4, step 5 and 6, 7 and 8. You step to the right on 1, clap 2, step 3, clap 4, twist 5 and 6, 7, and 8. Fantastic. Let's try that much with the music.

Get ready! Up, 5, 6, 7, 8. Step. One up. Twist. Yes! Good job.

OK, so now we'll teach you the next part of the choreography. So we've just finished here. And then we're going to go shoot out right on up on 1 and 2, step 3, clap 4, forward on 5, wait 6, hips 7, 8. Excellent, let's just do that little part. So we finish here. We shoot up on 1 and 2, 3, clap 4, forward 5, wait 6, hips 7, 8. Then we travel back, and we walk 1, 2, 3, arms up on 4, twisting 5 and 6, 7 and 8. Right, we'll just try that part without the music, and then we'll add the music.

So from here, we go and 1 and 2, 3 clap 4, forward 5, wait 6, hips 7, 8. Back 1, 2, 3 up 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8. Fantastic, let's try it with the music.

So, with that part, if it's a little bit tricky to do your feet as 1 and 2 back 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, you can just bounce with your feet. So we'll show you what that looks like. It will be 1 and 2, bounce 3, 4, 5, 6, bounce 7, 8. All right, so let's try that much. From here, we go over 1, 2, bounce 3, 4, jump 5, 6, 7, 8. 1 and 2, up 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Then you're going to step to the right and turn around 1, 2, 3, 4, so you bring your arms up. And then you shoot them out on 5, 6, 7, 8. Then we're going to point in three different directions. You can point anywhere you like. So we'll go pointing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, wait 7, 8.
