Step 1
Start by moving your feet. You can try a criss-cross motion or slide around. Just try to make the moves quickly.
Step 2
Jumping is usually a part of the dance routine too. You jump over hats, shirts jackets, shoes etc.
Step 3

Also part of the dance is the so-called 5 Gs. There are many variations, but in most Get Lite dances, you have to spin around and your body must touch the floor. When doing the 5 Gs, you should keep the legs as low as possible.
Improvise
Again, there are no hard and fast rules, so you can make up the moves as you go along. It’s not that difficult; once you get the rhythm going, you’ll be able to flow with the music. This is no different from musicians who improvise while performing.
Incorporate Other Dances
You can add elements of the chicken noodle dance, the Harlem shake or the tone whop too. You’ll see people who do this dance include these elements. If there are other routines you want to add to your Get Lite dance moves, do it.

Tips and Suggestions

Don’t worry if you can’t come up with anything spectacular. You’ll see people dancing in outrageous and silly ways. You can do the same; don’t be embarrassed.
You should also watch some YouTube videos. You will see dance tutorials, variations, step by step instructions and other tips. It is okay to build upon those dance steps you see, but you should make your own moves too.
Practice and Enjoy
Energy is necessary; when you’re pumped up there’s no limit to the amount of moves you can do. As long as the adrenaline is there, you’ll have no problems dancing around. Practicing your moves is also a good idea. When you invent a particularly nice move, keep practicing so you can show it off to your friends or upload it on the Web.
Warning: you don’t have to jump at a Get Lite dance. If your balance isn’t good, don’t try it, you could get hurt.
Getting Ready to Dance
The set up is pretty simple; a crowd of people form a circle and start clapping with a beat. In some cases lite music is used. Now you just stand in the middle and start dancing. How you appear isn’t important; as long as your moves are in tune with the beat, you’re doing okay.
Freestyle means anything goes, which is still the most popular version of the dance. Another version is similar to Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk, except it’s the whole body, not just the feet moving.
Anyone can learn how to do the Get Lite dance. All it takes is quick feet and lots of energy. If you got those, you’re good to go.
