Taking The Long Way
Choreographed by Anthony Gordon🇺🇸
Select a song to start playing
Step Sheet
32 Count, 4 Wall
32 Count Intro, approx. 12 seconds
[1-8] Toe Struts, Kick, Behind-Side-Cross
Includes a step change on count (8), replacing the cross with a R touch next to L to prepare weight properly to start the dance again.
[9-16] Kick, Behind-Side-Cross, Quarter Turn, Walk x2
[17-24] Step-Touch, Step-Kick, Side-Touch x2
[25-32] Vine R w/ Quarter Turn, Side-Hold, Rock-Recover
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!
