Ok, here's my attempt. Please feel free to correct as needed.


*20-25 sec of intro TK*

Start on 3/4 profile to the left. Arms in second position. Listen for the pause in the music that signifies the start.

Hip lift right-left right. Chest lift up and drop-drop. Shoulder punches right-left-right. Pause. Turn to the front.

Repeat combination facing front. Pause. Turn into right 3/4 profile. Repeat combination.

Turn to the back. Hip lift right-left-right. Bring right then left arm over head. Backs of hands touch briefly.

Turn back to the front while bringing arms down back into second position. Head slide right-left-right.

Maya right left right. Hands and eyes following hips. Raise arms back up slightly, look at audiance, and to quick hip lifts on the right.

Repeat going to the left.

Lean into the right hip. Arabasque left leg. Arms back in second. To 3 quick hip twists to the front. (Suspira counts this 1,2,3,4,5 but I prefer 1-and-2-and-3).

Lean into the left hip. Arabasque right leg. Do three more hip twists to the front. Use your free right leg to spin to the back.

Repeat the combination on the right again.

Lean into the left hip again. This time your only doing two hip twists. Push into the left hip. Bring right foot in. Now push into the right. Now left-right-left. Turn to front. Do one chest lift up.

3/4 profile to the right. Hands back over head. hip locks to the back while bending down slightly. ( I can't remember the rhythm of the locks here. Is it 1, 2, 3-4-5?)

Turn into 3/4 profile to the left. repeat.

Arms into second position. Face front. Take a big step forward with starting on the right foot, while shoulder punching right, left. Chest lift up-down. 4 hip locks down starting on the right. Bend down slightly while raising arms up into a V.

Repeat while taking a big step back into original position.

How does this sound, ladies?

    Hi Lynne,
    Thanks for posting!

    The 3/4 profile with the hip locks to the back and arms over head.... Is it just 1-2-3-4?

    Also, after that part remember our arms are out in second position and we throw hip back to right, left, then Omi to the right. Then repeat on other side (left, right, omi left) before we go into the big step forward with the shoulders.

    Wow, I've been really bad about updating our choreography! Let's see if I can remember where we left off.

    *****This picks up right after the final hip locks while bringing arms up into a v.*****

    Arms in second position. Step 1-2-3 to the front right corner. Now quickly, turn and swing arms to the back and front.

    Repeat; this time going to the back left. Again swing arms back and front.

    Left hand on hip. Bend slightly to the right and do a single snake arm. Spin to face front.

    Left arm straight up, right arm straight out at side. (finger symbols start)

    Hip twist to the right for 4 counts. I believe we are facing our right hand.

    Switch arm positions. Do hip twists back to the left for 4 counts. Face left hand.

    Arms down into second position. Walk forward aggresively with chest shimmy for 4.

    Walk back with bent chest shimmy for 4.

    (stop finger cymbals) left hand on hip. right arm straight out with flexed palm. swing hips to the right 2 times.

    right shoulder goes back, front

    Again, push hips right 2x. Right shoulder just pops forward this time.

    Right arm straight up, left arm straight out from side. bevel left leg.

    Left hip goes down-up, down-up. Head slide.

    Left hip goes down-up, chest goes down, shimmy down-up

    Arms in second position. Agressively step forward right, left; three down hip locks

    Step forward left, right (stepping into 3/4 profile). Body roll up, left hand on hip, right on head.

    ***And thats all I firmly remember. The rest was that class I missed. Perhaps one of you ladies can help fill in from here. Also feel free to make corrections.
