Day 1
I started by watching the video several times. It seems almost impossible because it is so fast. However, it made me smile a lot so I felt a connection.
I started to learn the routine from when all the dancers are running onto the stage at about 1:25, so I’ve started with 16 runs and then I go in to the routine.
This is the first few 8s.
Check in tomorrow for a bit more
I would be delighted if people could help me out breaking down the choreography.
Thank you Naomi for the breakdown of steps and the transcription
