Single‑minded Cinderella!NEW!CUTIE STREET
CUTIE STREET’s “Hitamuki Cinderella” features choreography that fully showcases their unique cuteness.
Since hand movements are the main focus, the moves themselves aren’t difficult, but they are a bit detailed, so some beginners might find them a little challenging.
However, there are playful actions and repetitive sequences, so you’ll definitely be able to learn it! The key is to firmly memorize the coordination between the chorus steps and the hand movements.
It’s common to focus on either the feet or the hands and let the other get sloppy, so make sure to ingrain the movements in your body and give it a try!
