Shape of You

Choregraphie par : Ali Pollard (UK) Description : 64 temps, 4 murs, Novice, Février 2022 Musique : Shape of You - Ed Sheeran No restarts, no tags. This dance is based on salsa rhythm where 3 steps are taken during 4 beats of music. This is evident in Section 1 where, during the Mambo step, counts 4 and 8 do not have a step assigned to them, and are described as ‘hold’. In other sections of the choreography different rhythms have been used. For instance, Section 2 which uses a step (instead of a hold) on count 4 and a syncopated step on the “&” between steps 6 and 7. This use of differing rhythms hopefully creates a dance that is interesting to both dance and watch. Start dance after 32 counts. Start with weight on L. SECTION 1: Mambo Back, Mambo Fwd 1,2,3,4 Mambo Back: step R back (1), recover weight on L (2), R fwd (3), hold with weight on R (4) 5,6,7,8 Mambo Fwd: step L fwd (5), recover weight on R (6), L back (7), hold with weight on L (8) SECTION 2: Point, Scissor Step, Samba Cross 1 Point R to side 2 Step R next to L 3,4,5,6 Scissor Step: step L to side (3), recover weight on R (4), cross L over R (5), hold with weight on L (6) &,7,8 Samba Cross: step R to side (&), cross L over R (7), hold with weight on L (8) SECTION 3: Side Mambo, Suzy Q, Point 1,2,3,4 Side Mambo: step R to side (1), recover weight on L (2), close R to L (3), with weight on R turn ¼ to R (4) 5,6,7 Suzy Q: Cross L over R whilst turning hips and feet to diagonal R (5), recover weight on R (6), Cross L over R whilst turning hips and feet to diagonal R (7) 8 Point R to side SECTION 4: Slide, Body Styling 1,2,3,4 Slide: cross R behind L (1), large sliding step L to side (2,3), touch R to L (4) 5,6,7,8 Body Styling: keeping weight on L perform body styling of your choice e.g. body roll up from bottom to top or hip rolls or figure of eight hip action or shoulder shimmy.
