Start in a large circle, everyone facing in.

You can dance around in the circle, shake your hips, just sort of march, etc. until it gets to the words.

A mí – point to your chest with two thumbs
me gusta – index fingers to your dimples, smile, turn your hands forward for a happy gesture
bailar el ritmo vuelta – bend at the knees, fist your hands, move your hands in a circle left four times, swing your hips left four times along with your hands.
A ti – look at and point to someone else
Te gusta – as above
Bailar el ritmo vuelta – as above

A todos – gesture to everyone in the circle
Nos gusta – as above

Con la mano mano – put right hand out to the right and move to the right two times
Con la otra mano – put left hand out to the left and move to the left two times

After each body parts section
Muevete – put your right arm out in front of you
ritmo – put your left arm out in front of you
Goza, goza – bend at the knees twice with the count of the song (looks like you’re doing deep knee bends with your arms out in front of you like a sleepwalker)
Turn to the right and repeat sequence
Muevete ritmo
Goza, goza

Turn to the right and repeat sequence – now your back is to the inside of the circle
