• Step 1 Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Bounce a little to loosen up before you begin the dance.
• Step 2 Hold your arms bent at your sides and twist your right leg in so you are slightly bent and your right knee is bent toward your leg. Your body should be slightly bent as well and leaning toward the left.
• Step 3 Unbend your right knee and then execute the same move on your left side. Remember to keep your body slight bent and leaning to the right side.
• Step 4 Place your hands above your head and then drop down to the ground as if you were doing a squat, but instead of stopping at a certain point, drop all the way down to the ground and immediately come, or "pop," back up.
• Step 5 Repeat Steps 1 through 4 until the end of the song.
