Don't let the phrasing scare you! It is easy to hear the parts in the
song and Parts A & B are 32 counts each so if you happen to miss one
it's ok. A. T. & I had fun putting this together, and we hope you have
fun with it as well.

RIGHT & LEFT KNEE ROLLS, HEEL TOUCHES SIDE & ACROSS WITH SWIVELS
1-2 Step right to side as you roll right knee to right
The foot action will be a ball, flat motion as you roll the knee out to
the right. You may also lead with the right hip, like a jazz walk in place.
3-4 Step left to side (slightly) as you roll left knee to left
Same styling as above
5-6 Touch right heel to right side & slightly forward, touch right heel
in front of left
7-8 Touch right heel to right side & slightly forward, touch right heel
in front of left
As you do these touches with the right heel, you should swivel on the
ball of the left foot and will travel slightly to the right
The left heel will twist to the left as you touch the right heel to the right. The left heel will
twist to the right as you touch the right heel in front of the left, etc.
SIDE, TOUCH, TURN, HITCH
1-2 Step right to side as you square off to center, touch left to side
3-4 Shift weight to left foot & turn ¼ to right, hitch right knee
On the "hitch", you will bring the right foot next to the left leg just below the knee (passé position)
CROSSING SHUFFLE TURNING ¼ RIGHT, STEP FORWARD, SLIDE TOGETHER
5&6 Right shuffle forward turning ¼ to right (6:00) (right, left, right)
This can also be danced as a "paddle turn" as "cross, ball, change"

&6&7 Cross/rock right over left with right heel, step left in place with
body angled left, rock step right diagonally back, step left in place
8&1 Cross right behind left, step left to side slightly, step right to side

you will now be aligned with the corner to your right.

SYNCOPATED CHASSE' (SIDE STEPS) TO RIGHT, RIGHT PADDLE TURN TURNING ONE
FULL REVOLUTION
2&3 Hold, step left together, step right to side (toe turned out)
4& Hold, step left together
5& Step right to side toe turned out, rock left back with ball of foot
6&7& Repeat 5& two more times to complete a full turn right
- Step right to side toe turned out
-
This is a paddle turn where one foot stays stationary and the other foot
helps propel you around. Think of it as "step, rock, step, rock, step,
rock, step" turning a little bit each time until you have turned all the
way around in one spot to face the same wall you started on.
REPEAT
