This is how you do the macarena: if you put your right hand out then your left hand out then flip the right hand over then flip the left hand over then you take your right hand and put it on your left shoulder then your put your left hand on your right shoulder then you put your right hand on the back of your neck then put your left hand on your neck after that you take your right hand and grab your butt then you take your left and grab your butt then you shake your butt like it is on fire! And then at the end you say "HEY MACARENA!!!!!!!!!" -

Awesome concept. I got my little brother to do this with me while ice skating a few months ago, he was embarrassed.
