Style/Var.
For count 4, feel free to hitch the L knee. For the last 4 counts, feel free to substitute for a Lindy Shuffle
(Shuffle L, rock back, recover). The song/dance is quick and I wanted to write with the beginner in mind, allowing for those who are comfortable dancing fast to add their own style.
 
End of dance, start again!
