![Although being only one of the two oboe players in the school, freshman Elise Morton said she will continue playing the instrument throughout high school. “[Playing the oboe] makes me feel special because I know Im playing a rare instrument and I love having a challenge because there’s something to improve on and get even better,” Morton said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Elise-Morton-Featured-Photo.jpg)
The time has come and with it brings the ultimate answer to the most important question of this generation: Can you teach me how to Dougie?
Cali Swag District’s 2010 hit Teach Me How to Dougie brought about yet another dance move that can be added to the evolution of dance.
Glee‘s Harry Shum Jr. and Heather Morris showed their YouTube fans how to Dougie, explaining its interpretive nature and that it is all about development.
Essentially, the bare bones of the Dougie is an in-place side step/leaning, back and forth or side to side, arms extending with every step. The tempo, is right, left, right right, left. You will alternately double on both sides throughout the song.
Now, Cali Swag’s version is slightly different and consists of 3 steps:
1. Leanin’ side to side
2. Put your arms into it
3. Add some Dougie Fresh
The signature move, the Dougie Fresh, is when the dancer sweeps his hand over his or her head, like you’re smoothing your hair back.
Cali Swag District in their interview with Billboard.com said that the dance is all about originality and making it your own form of the Dougie.
