We'll be dancing a version of the "Barbie Dance"--the main dance number from the The Barbie Movie, choreographed to Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night."  

This is the FULL dance tutorial video.  The choreography tutorial is divided into FOUR parts, each of which you'll find in the sections below.  Because the content creator divided the choreography into four parts, I've cued the tutorial to the start of each part, so you can always go back to any part to rehearse it as often as you wish! 

After the fourth part of the choreography, we will 'free dance' with the audience until the end of the song, when we end in a "disco pose freeze."  To view a breakdown of the parts of the dance choreography, set to music and with song lyrics, check out this video: Timing for COMM Reception Dance Routine
