Before doing it in public, you need to learn it well. Confidence is the key, as you cannot afford to be shy at any moment. When the song plays, you just need to start dancing with full energy.
First of all, get the song "Caramelldansen" on iTunes. It is easily available on the web as well. If you are unable to get it in your iPod or MP3 player, watch the video on YouTube.
Watching the video more than a few times will give you a great idea about the song and its theme. You can download it on your computer or mobile for the later use. -

Play the song at a high volume, and start moving your body. The very first step is moving your knees forward alternately, as if you are walking.
It is not as simple as it sounds. While moving your knees, you need to ensure that your feet don’t leave the ground. Lifting your feet off the surface is the thing that you need to avoid. -

After moving the knees, slowly start shaking your hips. Make sure you don’t stop moving your legs. Doing it together could be a bit difficult in the beginning, but you will surely get over it. Shake your hips from side to side, and keep enjoying the moment.

Now, it is the time to hold your fists. Do it from the sides of your hands. The grip must be gentle; otherwise, you would feel uncomfortable in opening and closing them, which is an important part of this dance. Open and close as you shake.
