Now you "Countrift it" using your heels, right heel, left heel holding your pants by your buckle and using your heels like your steeping in front of each other.
Then you smoothly go into the "Hip-Hop it" stage which is three moves. First you kick forward with your right leg bending your back and punching forward as if you're making your knuckles meet in front of you.
"Hawk in the Sky" with stepping out using your right foot arms up as if you're a bird, then bringing them down to your chest and crossing both arms back and forth as if you're a bird flapping its wings but you do this with your hands directly in front of your chest and make sure your kicking your foot up as you do this.
Now it's time for "Side to Side" with your arms crossed from the last step you just move your shoulders from right to left.
And now for the "Jump to the Left" you're going to scoop your left foot and jump to your left. Doing a twist like motion turning you around.
Put your feet together for "Stick It & Glide" and then you glide back sliding your feet. Basically you take your left foot back a step and glide your right foot to the left.
"Zig-Zag touch" is crossing your right leg across your left leg, then bringing your left foot behind and kicking it up to above your knee and touching the bottom of your shoe with your right hand.
"Across the floor" you move your body to right stepping to your right and then bringing the other foot to the same stop and repeating once again.
Now you go into the "Shuffle in Diagonal" by throwing both arms up in the air and then bringing them down and repeating this while you step forward and then back.
Now it's time for the "Hit the Drum" as you hit with your right arm and your left leg. So you kick with your left foot and punch with your right arm. Then you reverse the arm and foot and complete it with your hands on your hips.
"180 twists" is you twisting 180 to the right and then to the left. Now you hop back around on your left foot 3 times, with your arms up and when you do your 180 you drop your arms down.
Now you go back to the "Zig-Zag" step touching your foot and "Lean it left" by leaning your back to the left and snapping your fingers while you are dropping your back. Now you clap three times, once at the ground, second in mid air, last about your eye level.
"Shake it out" you begin moving your shoulders up and down and do a 360 degree turn.
Now it's the final move "Throw it all together" in this step you act like your bowling have your legs as if your throwing the bowling ball and your hands throwing a dice, then taking 3 steps back and throwing your arms up in the air.
