2. Chest circles to the right, while walking forward,
3. Travelling with mayas further to the right,
4. Chest circles to the right, while walking forward

5. Travelling with mayas to the left,
6. Chest circles to the left, while walking backward,
7. Travelling with mayas further to the left,
8. Chest circles to the left, while walking further backward

9. Large hip slides starting right,
10. Break left,
11. Shoulder shimmy,
12. Shoulder shimmy

13. Forward hip circle right hip ,
14. Forward hip circle left hip,
15. Large sideways hip circles,
16. Sinking into a seated position while making an inviting gesture to come and sit too

Enter the Qanun!

1. Shimmy, arms begin to sweep up

Thank you! I'm now in the process of actually trying to dance it and seeing if it works, so there may be changes as it evolves :)

I hope it stands up well to actual "play-testing", but that is the best way to improve it, too!
