4. Bend both elbows and bring your arms in front of you quickly before turning your hands downward and drawing a half circle around you!
5. Cross both hands together in front of you before bringing both arms up, pumping them down, and raising them again as you take a step to the right!
6. Bring your arms down one last time, palm up!

14-year-old Shake It Up star Bella Thorne might be a Disney Channel celebrity now, but when she was growing up, she was bullied for speaking Spanish as a first language, and later for being dyslexic.
Today, she speaks out strongly against bullying, and has become the global ambassador for “Stomp Out Bullying.” She also has some choice words of advice for anyone who faces bullies.
“I think that the scariest thing is admitting it and telling someone about it,” Bella said, “and I think that’s the first step that you need to take.”
Bella talked to her parents about the bullying, and that was when things started to get better for her.
She also learned that a good way to avoid bullying is to walk away from the situation.
“Don’t pick a fight,” she said. “If they’re picking a fight with you, I would say to walk away. That’s the easiest thing to do, because if you keep antagonizing them, it just gets worse.”
Bella was also recently bullied on her Instagram. When she stood up to the bully, yet another told her that, as a celebrity, it was her job to take criticism.
“Just because I’m on the red carpet means that I should be bullied, and I should take the bullying and just suck it up? No!” Bella retorted.
Watch Bella and Zendaya (as CeCe and Rocky) perform their new song, Made In Japan, which will be featured in their upcoming Shake It Up special of the same name!
In the movie, the gals win a trip to Japan in a dance contest and get the experience of a lifetime in Tokyo!
