A is danced to the 12:00, 9:00 and 6:00 walls. B is danced to the 6:00, 3:00, 12:00 walls
B styling: always happens during the chorus. The Dorothy steps should be danced with a big emphasis on the odd counts (1—3—5) as there is a heavy drum beat on those counts. Also, the first 2 sets of 8 will make a ¾ turn L. In order to turn exactly ¾, turn ¼ during each Dorothy step that starts with the L foot.
