Lesson body:

This is a simpler line dance to Michael Jacksons song: Thriller. This dance would be fun
for most dancing occasions. It is a two walled dance, so you will repeat the set of steps in two
directions. The dance is set up to be four 8 second sections, for a total cycle of 48 counts.

Steps:
Leading with right foot, step and swim while leaning back (count one) and pull your left
leg in (count two)- three and four
Switch and lead with left leg ( 5,6,7,8)
Next stand straight, and clap hands above head (1)
Stepping with right foot to the side while bringing arms down pointing straight out, while
doing a shimmy (2,3) finish by bring arms to side and bringing left foot in (4) raise and lower
shoulders (5,6) turn head to left and back quick (7) stand for 8

Repeat same thing for next 8 counts except stepping to the left.
Zombie Walks:
Lift hands up to the right and make three steps to the right (1,2,3) swing zombie hands
around to left and lift left knee (4) swing to the right and lift right leg (5,6) and swing back to the
left and lift left leg (7,8)
Then to the same thing to the right for 8
Bring arms down and shake knees, shake back and forth for one count, kind of a twisting
motion, Four counts, (1,2,3,4) then put left hand on left knee and right hand on right thigh, pivot
on left foot counter clockwise for four counts stomping with right foot, make it 180 degrees
(5,6,7,8)
Then start immediately into the swim step again and repeat all of it.
The song takes some time to come in, pretend to be zombies until start.
Start after the da daaaa, baa baa baa instrumental and the quicker pace sets in.

What kind of dance is this?
Where or when would be a good time/place to use this dance?
