Time to learn section 2 (there are officially 8 sections total) of our "Nova Raks" Choreography.

The song is "Nova Raks" by Hassan Abou el Seoud

Section 2 covers approximately 28 seconds to 47 seconds in the audio track. In the video posted of the full choreo , section 2 is from approximately 1:44 to 2:03.

*12 counts of forward horizontal figure 8 starting with the left hip. (If it's easier to do mirror image for you then start with your right hip) - 12 counts works out to 3 complete forwars horizontal figure 8s

* 4 counts of shimmy

*10 counts of step touch push travelling forward starting with our right leg (or if you are doing mirror image start with your left leg).
**count 11 to 12 you step back and the alternate hip comes forward

*4 counts 3 point turn back leading with the right leg turning clockwise
(If doing mirror image then lead with left leg and turn counterclockwise back).
**As you turn bring your arms up so they are parallel to your high chest area (under your chin).

That completes section 2.

The video that follows this will put sections 1 and 2 together as one piece:)
