MUSICALITY NOTES – when you are doing the paddle turns on wall 1, she sings “I’ll show you how to lasso the wind” – so you can raise your right arm in the air & twist your wrist (with your imaginary lasso 😊) as you paddle around. You can also do the same on other walls then she sings “American Cowgirl” at this point in the song. Then on the chorus walls, the run-run-run steps will fit with the lyrics “running through my veins”
