Ballin' The Jack
Concert Level 2: expect NO intricate footwork, but dynamic visuals, transitions, count-offs, and a truly fun challenge to perform!
Long before the Cha-Cha Slide, this song caught fire after being featured in the 1913 Ziegfield Follies, and became the nation's first 'dance craze'. This arrangement is designed as a novelty number, and cycles through many different genres of music to keep the short chorus fresh and fun throughout. Take advantage of the opportunities this chart presents to really get creative with props, staging, and special effects! The first minute features a bass/treble duet singing a short transition piece as the rest of the choir sets the stage or changes costume.
**Sync, streaming performance, and master licenses are ALL included with the purchase of this arrangement.**
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

Ladies and gentlemen, eyes over here Pay no attention to them While our crew is changing the set We'll keep you entertained with a little duet What do you think of the show so far? The novelty number's up next There's lots of props to set into place For a fun routine that will light up your face Everything's ready, so let's move along Hope you all enjoy this song First you put your two knees close up tight Then you sway 'em to the left Then you sway 'em to the right. Step around the floor kind of nice and light Then you twist around and twist around with all of your might Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace Swing your foot way round and bring it back Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!
