Note: On counts 5-8 there are some optional hand movements. You can polish/buff the cars at the car wash! On counts 5-6 bring left hand up to upper chest level & to left side of body and circle hand around to the left twice like you are polishing your car. On counts 7-8 bring right hand up to upper chest level & to right side of body and circle hand around to the right. Once you get used to "polishing" you can try doing at different levels. Raise your arms higher, or extend arms straight down with hands bent forward to get those lower levels of the cars at the car wash.

REPEAT
Note: For the dance & song to phrase properly:
The 2nd time you turn to face the rear of the hall, drop the last 4 counts. In other words complete the jazz box with 1/4 right turn & start the dance again with the vines. (The singers will be singing "get a wash. Run away!") This will make things run more smoothly at the car wash! Enjoy!

Note: For the clapping sequence at the beginning:
The first 7 times clap on counts 1, 3, 5&6&7, then clap on counts 2, 4, 6&7&8 until starting the dance on vocals
