Are you ready to get those hips going!?!?
Well ready or not, here we go. Rev those shimmies! Okay I will reel it in but I am ways excited to drum solo.

Here is the breakdown and practice of the first section (0 to 18 seconds) of our first drum solo choreography on here.

Section 1 Breakdown (0 seconds to 18 seconds)

Start with leg leg accented with weight on ball of foot and heel lifted .

Hahaha step for 6 counts
Left (1), right(2)
Left (3), right (4)
Left (5), right (6)
Chest lift on 7
Chest down on 8

Repeat Hagalla step in same Left (L) Right (R) pattern for 6 counts again
Shoulder slide for 7,8 (R, L)

Finish with left leg lifted if you can so you are ready for transition into the next section set of 8

Starting with the left hip, go into a forward pushing horizontal figure 8 for 6 counts, L hip , R hip , L hip
Pause
Hip twist R, L for 7,8
