START AGAIN

This dance was inspired by the classic intermediate dance called “Prodissy” choreographed by Michelle Fowler & Sally Nugent which is still often danced (usually late at night!) at large weekend events. I’ve tried to make my dance flow in the same direction as much as possible & mimic some of the (optional!) hand movements as well so that it makes a great floor-split

OPTIONAL FOR SECTION 2
When you touch your Right foot forward, put your right hand in front of you, palm down, then do the same with your Left hand on counts 3-4
For counts 5-8 leave both your hands in front of you and then make a circle with your hands (as if polishing a tabletop) as you roll your hips around anti clockwise

OPTIONAL FOR SECTION 3
On count 2, touch the Left side of your head with your Left hand and the Right side with your Right hand
On count 4, touch your Left shoulder with your Right hand and Right shoulder with Left hand (arms are crossed)
On count 6, uncross your arms to touch your Left shoulder with your Left hand and Right shoulder with Right hand
On count 8, put both arms down with fingers at knee level and pointing to your feet
You may only want to do this during the chorus (when they sing “From my head down to my feet”)
