- 3. Practice Makes Perfect: Like any other line dance, the Wobble takes practice. So, don't get discouraged if you don't pick it up right away. Just keep trying, and you'll get it!
The Wobble Steps: Breaking It Down
Now that you're ready, let's break down the Wobble steps into easy-to-follow sections. Remember, each section should take about 8 counts.
Section 1: The Basic Wobble
- Counts 1-2: Start by stepping your right foot to the side, then shift your weight onto your left foot. - Counts 3-4: Repeat the same step, this time with your left foot. - Counts 5-8: Wobble your hips from side to side, keeping your feet still. This is the signature move of the Wobble, so embrace your inner Shakira and let those hips move!
Section 2: Adding Some Spice
- Counts 1-2: Repeat the basic Wobble step from Section 1. - Counts 3-4: This time, add a little twist. As you step your left foot, turn your body slightly to the right. - Counts 5-8: Wobble your hips again, but this time, add a little arm action. Raise your arms slightly, then lower them as you wobble.
Section 3: The Wobble Turn
- Counts 1-2: Repeat the basic Wobble step one more time. - Counts 3-4: Now, it's time to add a turn. As you step your left foot, turn your body to the left, so you're facing the opposite direction. - Counts 5-8: Wobble your hips again, keeping your arms at your sides this time. Spot your turns to prevent dizziness, and keep your eyes on where you're going!
