Start on the word "Day". The first 16 counts are done in kick-line formation. Hands will be placed on the person's shoulders on either side of you. Do not wrap arms all the way around their neck! Your right hand will be on the left shoulder of the person to your right and your left hand will be on the right shoulder of the person to your left. Their hand will be on your shoulders as well. This dance is meant to be easy and fun. Enjoy!!
