Choreo by Saqra 2013

Music: Rudolph

 

 

Spoken: "Hey kids!

You know dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen

Comet and cupid and donner and blitzen

But do you recall

The most famous reindeer of all?

 

Yeah!" - turn

----------------------------

 

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer - small 5 hip drop arch, bird arms & back lean

Had a very shiny nose - shoulder roll lean rlr, shoulder roll lean lrl

And if you ever saw it - small 7 hip drop arch (one hand to head, one framing)

You would even say it glows - 3 step turn, drop back undulation L, drop back undulation R

 

All of the other reindeer - L shoulder pulse L to R

Used to laugh and call him names - double persian turn C

They never let poor rudolph - R shoulder pulse R to L

Join in any reindeer games - double persian turn CC to arms out

- shoulder shimmy

 

Then one foggy christmas eve - back (R foot) and cha cha cha, back and cha cha cha

Santa came to say - mild arabesque, mild arabesque

"rudolph, with your nose so bright - pose, closed = arms, head slide

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight" - saidi head/arm 8 l, r, l, r,  

 

Then how the reindeers loved him - 3 circle and twist

As they shouted out with glee - 3 circle and twist

"rudolph the red-nosed reindeer - thigh drop & back step, thigh drop and back step

You'll go down in history" - 4 counts mayas with rising and setting arms
