Optional introduction:

Listen for the telephone ring, then on first vocal of ”push”, straighten one arm out with flexed hand position (palm facing out) (shoulder height), then release. On next two ”push” vocals, repeat arm push (dancer chooses which arm and direction to push). Then there will be four quick ”push(es)”: Straighten both arms forward beginning step to body and finish fully extended (pumping action). Then release arms and the music will begin, wait 16 counts and begin dance

 
 

Ending:

You will be facing 3:00 wall with left kick forward (count 16). ”push” left arm to front wall, head looks left, (to front wall). Hold this pose and listen for the telephone hang up!
