Choreographer's note: The title of this dance should not be confused with 'Move On Up' which
is a dance (also choreographed by myself) to the Curtis Mayfield song of the same name. On a
number of compilation albums there is the 'single' or shorter version. All versions can be used
with this dance. This dance should present no problem to established Beginners or above within
the new levels.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'.

Dance starts on the vocals (all versions) with feet slightly apart and weight on the left foot.
