Hello and Welcome Back :)
After this we will "officially" be past the half way mark for our choreo!! WoooHooo!! Exciting stuff.
In the audio track section 5 covers section 1:32 to 1:53
In the full choreo video it is section 2:47 to 3:08
Written breakdown is as follows:
4 counts slow body wave as hands come up from torso and over head, on the 4th count pivot 1/4 turn to the left
12 counts of body wave/camel (from chest to pelvis) adding the arms is optional
4 counts shimmy, on the 4th count pivot 1/4 turn to the right so you are facing forward again
4 counts shimmy on 4th count pivot 1/4 turn to the right again (so facing to the right now)
4 counts shimmy facing to the right
6 counts washing machine twist shimmy (optional to lean forward slightly and back up if you can, if not just do the washing machine/twist shimmy standing straight :) )
2 counts (7,8) push left hip out to weight change to go into 3 point turn back so you finish in show girl pose with the right leg lifted/accentuated.
Have fun!!! And happy practicing!
A video putting together sections 1 to 5 will follow this :)
