INTRO
At the beginning of the song you will hear the words "Right Now" 3 times with a count of 16 in between each one. Strike the following pose on each "Right Now"
First "Right Now": Throw your right arm down to right side as you bump your hips to the right. Sit into this hip bump so right leg is bent. Look to the floor where you right arm just went. (Through the next 15 counts bring your left hand up the left side of your body, wiggling your fingers as you do this
Second "Right Now": Bump the hips to the left and that hand you've just been wiggling will now extend out to your left with your palm up and fingers outstretched. Your head looks to the left
Third "Right Now": Bring your left outstretched hand to your chin and let it move your head to face the front sharply as you bumps the hips to the right. After you have bumped your hips bring your right arm up and out wiggling your fingers as she says the words "fly me off to lovers land"
Prior to starting the main dance bump your hips to the left then start main dance on word 'baby'
