Get Low by Lil’ Jon & the East Side Boyz            Merengue/Hip Hop          

Notes: 

Super super duper fast version  of the “Get Low” song you hear on the radio.  I call it the “spastic merengue”.  People like it because they know the slower hip hop version from the radio and this is the same song in turbo mode. Also a great cardio and leg workout.  Lyric warning: probably not appropriate for church or kids classes.   Also, instructors may note that there seems to be a lot of choreo for this song, but really the music tell you what to do.  Listen to the song as you read the choreo and you’ll see.

Intro/chorus “3, 6, 9 Damn your fine”:

Regular merengue with big arms.  When he says “Get Low”, continue to merengue but get low as you do it.  Then when he says “To the Window” take 2 steps to the right, pulling arms as you go.  Then “To the Wall”, take 2 steps back to the left.  Repeat that for the next line (one more time to each side).  Then when he says “Skee skee skee”, pump arms at chest level and pump hips 4x to each wall starting at front.

Regular Merengue with arms.  If you want you can take this around the room.  8cts to face each wall. 

Chorus:

Same as before.
