Run Away
Choreographed by Mike Wilson🇺🇸 & Aurora de Jong🇺🇸
Select a song to start playing
Step Sheet
32 Count, 2 Wall
Start after 16 counts
[1-8]: Run forward x 3, Hitch with throw; Diagonal Step Back and Clap x 2; Side Rock-recover-touch to side; ¼ Sailor Step to Left; Scuff Right Forward
[9-16]: Step towards diagonal with heel-toe swivel from trailing foot, touch; Left side rock-recover-step forward; Forward right mambo; Run back x 3 ending with ½ turn left.
(Style note 2: Try sweeping your right foot forward after the ½ turn to start the diamond.)
● See style note at end of stepsheet for walls 2 and 4, and for ending on wall 6.
[17-24]: ¾ Diamond Pattern ending at 12:00
[25-32]: Rock-and-cross x 2; ½ Turn Chase to Left; Rolling Full Right Turn Forward
Notes for Counts 13-16:
For style on walls 2 and 4, you can syncopate the rhythm in steps 13-16 to match the rhythm in the lyrics (“Can We Just Let Go”). This would look as follows:
“Can” & “We”: (facing 3:00) Mambo forward on right foot:
(“Can”) Rock forward on right foot; (&) Recover weight on left foot (no lyric here);
(“We”) Step right foot next to left foot.
”Just” “Let” “Go”: Run back (left-right-left) making ½ turn left on last run:
(“Just”) Step back on left foot; (“Let”) Step back on right foot;
(“Go”) Make ½ turn left stepping forward on left foot. (turning to 9:00)
Wall 6 (which begins facing the back wall) will end around count 15 or 16. Again, you’ll be facing 3:00. Wall 6 is not syncopated, but we will modify count 8 to make only a quarter turn left to face the front at the very end:
