PLEASE PRACTICE how you do this by QUICKLY taking off your over-clothing (jacket, wrap, shirt) OR putting on your #ShakeIt & iaedp™ T-shirt on over your conference clothing.
- WARNING ABOUT WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS (You know what we mean!):
  - Make sure you have a way to quickly shift from your conference attire to our sea of red tees without showing the guests more than you mean to!
  - Also, we'll be in the audience, so think about if you'll need to stand to avoid bumping or elbowing a seat-neighbor.
  - YOU GOT THIS!

If you don't know what size to order, click here for a chart.
- The "Men's" is our Unisex/Adult (S-5XL).

Dance Tutorial - "I'm Original"

We will teach the routine at iaedp™! If you want to get a headstart, here's the tutorial.

Hints!

The tutor is a mirror of you. If she steps left, you step left.
Once you know SECTION THREE, you know about HALF THE DANCE! Start there! (Go to 09:55)
Most people find the dance at 26:00 most helpful to practice with. (We didn't know that yet when we made the video. Oopsie.)
Anthem's lyrics often tell the dance steps (e.g., our arms make an X on the word "Stop.") "I'm Original" can be downloaded HERE on iTunes and lyrics live here.

Order with Timecodes:

00:04 Whole dance mirrored
03:36 Section break downs (in chunks of 8-counts with whole section runthroughs after each section has been shown)
26:00 Whole dance as if in flash mob

Huge huge thank you to Auburn Road, the country group, for writing and performing "I'm Original," the anthem for #ShakeIt for Self-Acceptance!
