When the Dam Breaks

Step R fwrd, point L to L side (both arms out to sides with R side of upper body slightly back – torque)

Starting from the head…bringing arms in to chest -turn ¾ L bringing L underneath center transferring weight to L but staying on the front of the foot (3:00), continuing another ¼ turn L on the ball of the L allow the R to sweep back to across the front of you (12:00

Cross R over L, on the ball of the R ¼ turn R step back on L, step R back (3:00)

Step L back(3:00) for 5-6 options I danced….

Step R fwrd, lift L extended leg (toes extended heel to inside line) – lower L to center (3:00)

full turn L spiral – letting L wrap close to R ankle (or float close to the floor), step out L fwrd, touch R next to L as you bend both knees allowing body to lower (6:00)

Sway to R as you step R to R side (use arms as you are comfortable) – collect L next to R DON’T change weight

Sway to L as you step L to L side (use your arms) – you can collect R next to L to prepare for next section

Step R to R side but on the ball of the R allow ¼ turn to R to happen DURING the count NOT turn then step, step down on L next to R (9:00), change weight to R
