Repeat counts 1-8 but do them going back in the other direction.
Partners put right hands up as if doing a high five. Both partners step forward with the right foot and then the left so that they are standing side by side in a high five position. (1-2 )
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)
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.
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.
