Tips

  • Start out slow at first and then get faster.
  • It's easier if you break it down piece by piece to learn the whole section.
  • To shake things up a bit, you can replace the "Shh!" the second time round with waving your hands in the air, while shouting, "Yay!", or making guns with both your hands and saying, "Check it!". You can be as creative as you want with this. Make it your own!

Tips from our Readers

  • Say the motion you're supposed to do when you start. For example, if you want to snap, say "Snap" while you snap. As you get better, stop saying the word when you do the action.
  • You can add your legs at the end when you get really good at it. Just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!
