Step Sheet
32 Count, 4 Wall
#32-count intro
More music options:-
Gold by Dierks Bentley -16-count intro (restart and tag)
Wild Child by The Black Keys – 32-count intro
and many others
Section 1: Cross side sailor step x 2
Section 2: Pivot-half, shuffle, pivot-half, shuffle
Section 3: Side behind, chasse, cross-rock chasse quarter
Section 4: Point forward-side, sailor x 2
NOTE: This dance is for teaching the sailor step to beginners with some experience.
The Cowboy Up music is slow, so it allows time for movement during the sailor steps; once the dancers are comfortable with the sailor step, you can add the quarter turn in the first set if desired.
Gold by Dierks Bentley is faster music. It requires a restart after 16 counts on wall 3 and a 4-count rocking chair tag (lyrics: “1-2-3-4”) at the end of wall 9. Wall 9 starts at 3:00 and the tag is at 12:00. Then the last wall starts; you dance through the first 16 counts to end naturally at the front.
Wild Child is of moderate pacing.
