OPTIONAL: At times in the dance, while you are paddling, the lyrics talk about celebrating "you, you, you". When that happens, I point to people in the audience on the "you" part as I am coming around, first right hand, then left.

Try it at a wedding or other celebration sometime....would be easy to teach on the fly and might make some people smile! Maybe even you :)
