For Week 2, we are increasing the length of our practice and building on our basic movements. Today, we'll work on a dynamic duo: Double Bump & Single Bump. Not only will you work on these two Pivot Bump family standards, we'll also add turning and Single Bump Half Turn.

The Double Bump and Single Bump are sibling movements with similar foot patterns, except that the Double Bump is bumping (you guessed it) twice to the front and back and the Single Bump only once. While it's not required to do the Double Bump before the Single Bump, this order both looks and feels good! (Notice that the transition from Single Bump to Double Bump is a little awkward.) To keep powerful hips going consistently throughout the movements, make sure that the right foot is directly underneath you, shifting only between toes and heel of your grounded left foot.

Unlike the Swivel Step (Egyptian) Half Turn and (Arabic) 123 with Half Turn, which flip from front to back (at dance angle!), the Single Bump Half Turn runs along the left diagonal. The Half Turn is cued out of a Single Bump by emphatically turning the body to the front left diagonal on count 1. Pivot on the right foot 180 degrees to face the back diagonal on 2. Hip bump toward the back diagonal on 3; pivot back to the front diagonal on 4. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 16 counts. Getting dizzy? Turn the head first to look where you're going!
