Dance Lesson Ideas

2. Walk backward 4 steps to place and clap on 4.

3. Take 3 swivel steps (keep feet parallel to each other and turn first the toes, then the heels, then the toes) to the right and clap on 4.

5. Step right and touch left foot beside 2x; clap on count 4, step left, touch right 2x; clap on count 4. Repeat whole sequence 4x.

6. Eagle Walk--- (Eagle Walk: Like the old "Ball in the Jack" from years ago or also would look similar to a flapper- type move in the Charleston.) Turn in a circle to the right 3 steps and clap on the 4th step back in place. As you walk raise arms shoulder level, wave fingers, dipping shoulders high then low with each step.
