Finale - Performance

I labeled this one as during a performance, but I don't remembering recording it then, so it might just be another dress rehearsal. Anyway, you can pick which one you like best!

Last wheel turn

The last move we learned:

Last grapevine

Here's the transition from the turn to the last grapevine:



And here's exactly how to do the last grapevine:

Final Section

Here is everything else we learned:




The Point
Point to the audience on 1. Pop your right shoulder on 3 and 4.

The Leg Roll


The Turn

Large Circle

After the reveal, you have 12 counts to get into a large circle -- not a U, a circle -- with everyone facing out. On count 5, straighten up tall with your hands in the air and then drop to a crouch. This is just like you did when you were in the U.

Here's a video of what happens next:




- Stay crouching and sweep your arm and leg around to get into crab position. Now, where everyone WAS facing out from the circle, you are NOW facing counterclockwise.
- After 16 counts, lift your left leg straight up in the air and then cross it over the right leg.
- Immediately, the ripple starts. You take your left arm over and rotate to the right. It looks harder than it is.
