Step Sheet
64 Count, 2 Wall
Details: Restarts on 1st wall after 48 counts, and 5th wall after ‘tiny tag’ at count 37
(Clock notation begins on your start wall as 12:00. Each phrase will carry a new 12:00 start wall, ½ turn of the previous phrase.)
[1~8]: R DOROTHY STEP, L FWD, KNEE POP, L COASTER STEP, R FWD, ½ TURN L
[9~16]: R DOROTHY STEP, L FWD, KNEE POP, L COASTER STEP, R FWD, ¼ TURN L, R CROSS
[17~24]: SLOW WEAVE L*, L ROCK-RECOVER ¼ R, L STEP, R STEP ½ TURN L
[25~32]: TAP-BACK (R,L,R), TAP L, L COASTER STEP, QUICK R JUMP FWD/OUT, L OUT, R HEEL BACK-HITCH
[33~40&]: R-L ‘GROOVE’ STEPS, R-L HEEL SWITCHES, R CROSS ¼ R HEEL-JACK, R STEP
[41~48]: FWD WALK L-R, L SHUFFLE FWD, 2x HEEL BOUNCE ¼ TURN R, R KICK-BALL-CROSS
[**Restart here after 48 counts, Wall 1**]
[49~56]: R SIDE ROCK-RECOVER, WEAVE L, ¼ WALK-AROUND TO THE RIGHT (L R L R)
[57~64]: BOTA FOGO/SAMBA STEPS L-R, L JAZZ CROSS, ¼ L SHUFFLE*
(BEGIN AGAIN, and most certainly DWYF!)
**’Tiny’TAG: On Wall 5 (facing original 12:00), dance through the ‘groove’ steps (counts 33-36):
Easy option: place your R foot out to right side and hold (4 counts), and/or after 2 counts, ending in a hip circle or with body roll. Advanced option: step forward on R with a prep, then close R next to L and make a full pencil turn left. Both options end weight L.
You WILL hear this as the music essentially stops, then restart from count 1 (of 64).
