Shoulder Bumps (5 counts ; 10 musical beats) : Brief Description

Steps

1: (Step back)

The man leads the lady to move backwards — by pushing her right hand slightly with his left hand — as he moves backwards and offers his right hand for the lady to take his right hand in her left hand.

2: (Step in)

The man leads the lady to move forwards — by pulling her right hand slightly with his left hand and pulling her left hand slightly with his right hand changing to a flat palm-to-palm handhold at shoulder height — as he moves forwards.

3: (Step apart)

The man leads the lady to move backwards and rotate 90^o anticlockwise (with weight on her right leg) — by releasing her left palm after pushing it slightly with his right palm — as he moves backwards and rotates 90^o clockwise (with weight on his left leg).

4: (Step in)

The man leads the lady to move right — by pulling her right hand slightly with his left hand and bringing his left hand (and the lady's right hand) slightly forwards to create compression in the handhold — as he moves left.

5: (Step away)

The man leads the lady to move left and rotate 90^o clockwise (with weight on her left leg) — by pushing her right hand slightly with his left hand and bringing his left hand (and the lady's right hand) slightly backwards to create tension in the handhold — as he moves right and rotates 90^o anticlockwise (with weight on his right leg).

Don't just step in/away from each other — otherwise the move starts to resemble a ballroom sequence dance, e.g. a “dashing white sergeant”,

Depending on your partner you may spring away by bouncing-off sprung elbows, or by “bouncing” off each other's hips/shoulders. Can optionally do a kick, or flick step, during the “step away”.

6: (Finish)
