Timeline



Beginning - 0:09 : Chair is sideways to the front. Sitting on the chair with legs crossed and right arm supporting chin.
First 4 counts --> hand runs through hair while leaning back off chair.
Next 4 counts --> Turn and face the front with legs uncrossed and right hand holding the back of the chair.
Next 4 counts --> Lean to the back of the chair, both arms reach to the left with left above the right. Last 4 counts --> Get off chair and left leg is in attitude position, right hand holding onto chair. Left hand pushes outwards, diagonal to floor.

0:09 - 0:25 : Kick left leg to the back with right hand still holding onto the chair and left hand pushes quickly outwards. On left leg, roll in the direction of stage right with a head roll guided with arms. Do a cartwheel on elbows with one leg bent and feet flexed, landing kneeling to the front.
4 counts --> Slowly pull out collar, with head looking downwards left. Swing head in a clockwise manner, turning body to face the back.
4 counts --> Take 2 steps using legs but still on the floor while brushing hand through hair. Finally, jerk head backwards.
4 counts --> Flip to face the front and collapse suddenly with right arm stretched forward.
4 counts --> Roll to a sitting position, with back to audience. Cross arms in front of chest and curl up into a ball.
4 counts --> Cartwheel up from floor onto feet, with one leg bent and feet flexed.
4 counts --> Jerk right leg outwards at an awkward angle and shoot arms to the left, with the left above right. Repeat twice.

0:25 - 0:32 :
4 counts --> Take two steps backwards and strongly bring right arm next to body, as if grabbing something.
8 counts --> Posse on right leg. First on straight legs with hands at the side. Second time, on bent knees and with arms going up from head.
4 counts --> Step on right leg with back leg in a low arabesque and right hand propping up chin. Swivel around and back leg kicks, bent. Hands grab around head.

0:33 - 0:35 : The two quiet beats --> 2 ronde de jambes on pile with arms swinging. On the climatic upbeat, jump with right leg in passé and left leg straight. Hands curve over body.

0:35 - 0:52 : 
4 counts --> From the jump, land on the floor and do a fish roll over. 
4 counts --> Flip over so that you are on your back, still lying on the floor. Drag body up, as if breathing in with arms drawing into chest. Relax back down onto the floor.
2 counts --> Sharply extend left leg upwards, with toes pointed. Pulling collar away with the left hand, push hips upwards and flex toes, before returning to lying on the floor. 
6 counts --> Use right leg on the floor as a pivot and push hips up to turn to the right, to get stomach on the floor. End with left leg in the air in attitude position and right arm in front of head, as if trying to pull body forwards. 
Getting onto right leg, facing back corner stage left in a half split position, left hand rotates over head and quickly claps in front of chest, with both hands straight. Do a half turn on right leg to face bottom corner stage right and slowly clap hands. 

0:53 - 0:58 : 
4 counts --> Roll onto left leg and step up on left leg, using right arm to 'pull' you up. 
2 counts --> Mini side leap to the right and sharply turn head to the right. Landing on right leg, leg tilt to the left and lean off balance. 
4 counts --> Step back twice starting on the left leg. After the second step, bring right arm in front of you as if grabbing something. Walking towards stage left upper corner, walk very loosely twice (hip swing motif) 

4 counts --> Do an attitude leap towards the chair. End hunched over, grabbing stomach. 
4 counts --> Step onto chair and turn head to look towards audience. 

4 counts --> Lean off chair and fall off it
4 counts --> Stepping on the left leg, do a small 'stag' jump landing with a roll on the floor, in front of the chair
4 counts --> Exaggerated breathe in and out, bringing arms from behind, sweep against the floor, over the head.
4 counts --> Roll back towards chair. Into a position with both hands supporting weight on chair and right leg is extended parallel to the ground with feet pointed.

(1, 2 and 3) --> Hold position for 1. Flex toes and turn head to audience on 2. Pointe toes again on 3.
Remaining music --> Sit back on chair. Repeat the beginning of the dance.
Final 3 counts --> Brush hand through hair. With each beat, drop head back a little more.
