The Moves 🧠
Lesson 1.
Cradle the Baby. Imagine you are holding a big baby in front of you, and your elbows simply go side to side.
- On 1 the left elbow goes left, on 2 right, on 3 back left. 5, 6, 7: right, left, right.
Windshield Wipers. Keep your elbows in place and let your arms travel, drawing circles.
- On 1 the right arm is up and the left down. Switch on 2 and on 3, wait on 4.
Both together. Your elbows go left while your right hand comes up, then you switch.
