This is a very short "dance" that the younger crowd loves, especially college age. Simpler than the Macarena, if that's possible. It's a good song/dance for people just starting out. Every place I have shown it, people took to it instantly.

CORNERS OF THE SQUARE, CLAP
(The way I taught the dance, I asked the class to visualize a square painted on the floor, and they were going to step on the corners.)

1Step right forward lively (upper right corner of box).

2Step left forward lively (upper left corner of box).

3Step right backwards lively (lower right corner of box).

4Step left backwards lively (lower left corner box), and clap hands as foot touches floor. Hold clapped hands in front of you, palm to palm.

HIP ROLLS AND ¼ TURN

5-8Roll hips to the right. At end of beat 8, on the ball of left foot do a ¼ turn to left

REPEAT
When you do the ¼ turn and start dance over, your left foot is in the bottom left corner of the box and your first step will be your right to the upper right corner.
You can do all sorts of variations in place of the 4 beats of hip rolls, for example:
Hop forward on both feet four times
Do four ¼ turns, tapping your foot outwards on each turn
Applejack four times
