or wear a skateboard behind that boogie.

Parker mixes moves such as the lawnmower with Latin dance steps and then throws in a little disco to make it fun. The repetition of these moves keeps the music flowing and cardio-but, but the music of the junior high dance moves keeps it lightened and faint.
