Tribute to Mahalia

Note: 20 counts introduction. There are 4 counts intro with solo piano, then 16 counts with rhythm base plus the singer saying, “I’m on my…”, then start the dance on the word “Way” stepping RF forward. No tag and no restart

 

[1-8] Step forward, coaster step, ¾ step turn step, rock step, cross, side, cross

 

[9-16] Step side, rock step, step side, rock step, ½ pivot turn, Run x3

 

Start again

 

No tag no re-start

 

Teaching tip:

This line dance choreography may be taught as 16 counts dance with countercounts, or as 32 counts dance adding hold counts. It may also be counted as quick quick slow slow timing, just doing S-QQS-QQS-QQQQS. This rhythm pattern is the same for the first and second 8 counts parts.
