Written Choreography

o = single, single, double side steps with assisting arms (if the class has trouble with this suggest that they move to shallower water)

X = twist jump (single single double) the class keeps their torso still and the focus is on pushing the legs down not on jumping as you will on the deck

K = alternating lunge with hand push down

A = leg lifts to the side (alternate right and left like a slow tick-tock)

R = hop on the right leg to the right (The class hops and moves to the right, but in the video I demonstrate how to stand in one spot and not hop)

L = hop on the left leg to the left

Z = Like part "A" but twice the speed and smaller range of motion.
