Cockatoo Kisses (aka Steal My Kisses)
Count:
32
Wall:
4
Level:
Improver
Choreographer:
Debi Pancoast (USA) - February 2017
Music:
Steal My Kisses - Ben Harper : (Album: Burn To Shine)
Intro: 16 counts to start with guitar, or 48 counts to start with vocals
Choreographer’s Thoughts: This dance is intended to loosen up your fun factor. Lots of syncopations to play with and to flavor however you’d like. Free your hips and shoulders so they can engage, work opening up your body to the angles and you’ll get more hip movement. Keep your feet under you and above all, have a great time with this fun song and smile!!
