REVIEWING SOME BASICS
 
 THE SKA
 
Nod:  The upper half of the body moves to the beat as you bow forward with a slight bend in the knees.  With a straight back you bow forward on the first nod and cross your arms then straighten up and uncross your arms.   (Sequence = 8 beats)

Step:  The bowing and arm actions are repeated but this time you step to the left then step to the right.  You uncross your arms when you step to the side then cross your arms when you bring one foot across to meet the other foot.  (Sequence = 4 beats)

Monkey:  Relax your arms and raise them alternately to either side of your legs or between your legs as you step to the sides.  Or alternatively you can twist on the ball of both feet rather than stepping to the sides.  (Sequence = 4 beats)

Row:  Pull your arms back and thrust the lower half of your body forward, then push your backside outwards thrusting your arms forward in a rowing motion.  You do the rowing on an angle to either side and stand on the heel of the side you are facing as you pull your arms back.  This action can be done with a partner where you both face forward or each other.  (Sequence = 8 beats)
 
 
 
 TRY THIS MOVE
 
Use a bobbing motion with just your upper body through the whole sequence.  Bow forward and part your arms.  Now bow forward and cross your arms.  Do the same sequence facing slightly to the left.  Do the same sequence facing forward again.  Do the same sequence facing slightly to the right.  (Sequence = 8 beats)
