==Appearance of the Dancer==
===Original===
The dancer is a man with dark blue hair, who dresses up as a farmer. He wears a dark blue straw hat over his head and has a mustache. He also wears a blue and orange-yellow checkered polo shirt, a pair of blue overalls with the right suspender strapped on, a pair of bright orange socks, and white and dark blue boots tied with bright orange laces. A bright orange handkerchief hangs in the back pocket of his overall. He has a light blue outline. His glove is colored orange, specifically gamboge.
===Remake===
In the remake, the excess neon in his outline is removed and his color gradient is slightly darker. Otherwise, the coach is the exact same.
==Background==
The background is styled as a farm. There is a barn, chickens, and some sheaves of hay. For almost the entirety of the routine, there is a Rabbid annoying the dancer. In the end, the front wall of the barn falls, revealing numerous Rabbids. In the remake, the screen fades to black at the end.
==Gold Moves==
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Swipe your right hand upwards from right to left, as if you were throwing something.
Gold Move 2: Swipe your right hand downwards as if you were trying to catch something.
Gold Move 3: Swing your right arm to the left.
Gold Move 4: Put your hands up with your thumbs up.
