Both partners step back with their left foot and then with the right to original high five position.(3-4)
Repeat this step together and step apart one more time. (5-8)

Last 8 Counts:
Partners pass right shoulders for an 8 count Do Si Do. Outside partner will veer off to the right on the 4 steps back and go with the next partner to their right.

Dance starts over from the beginning with a new partner.

Assessment Ideas:

I evaluate the kids strictly on how willing they are to work with different people and how hard they are trying to learn the steps.
