Select a song to start playing
Step Sheet
64 Count, 2 Wall
Start 16 counts after the beat kicks in – approx. 11.08secs – 125bpm – 3mins 06secs
Music Available: Amazon
And the phrasing goes like this (the execution is easier than the explanation):
A (32 counts), A (24 counts), B (32counts), A (32counts), A (12 + Tag 1), B (32 counts), A (32 counts), Tag 2, B (32 counts), A X 4 (32 counts), (see full description for armography)
PART A (32 counts with changes)
[1-8] R Charleston step, R heel dig x 2, R behind/L side/R cross
[9-16] L heel dig x 2, L behind, ¼ R, R fwd, L fwd, R fwd, ½ L pivot turn, R kick ball step fwd
Add the following 4 count tag: Step R forward, pivot ½ left (3 o’clock), step R forward, pivot ¼ L (12 o’clock) and go into Part B
[17-24] R fwd, bounce 3X turning ¼ L, cross R over L, step L side, R sailor heel/kick
[&25-32] R back, cross L over R, R side, L sailor step, R/L heel stand, R back, L back
Part B (always 32 counts) – Getting Up, Getting Down – a whole lotta explainin’ but it really is simple!
Takes you all the way around the room.
[1-8] Jump back, hold, jump back hold, R fwd, hold, ⅛ L pivot turn, hold.
[9-16] Turning ⅛ L: jump forward R/L apart, hold, jump R/L back, hold, R fwd, hold, 1/8 L pivot turn, hold.
[17-24] Repeat counts 9-16
[25-32] Repeat counts 9-16
Turn ⅛ left to face front to start A again
SUMMARY:
• “Part B is always done starting and ending at 12:00” and
• “Tags always bring the dancer to 12:00 and are followed by Part B”
PHRASING:
• Wall 1 – A 32 counts – ends 6:00
• Wall 2 – A 24 counts – ends 12:00
• Wall 3 – B 32 counts – ends 12:00
• Wall 4 – A 32 counts – ends 6:00
• Wall 5 – A 12 counts – ends 9:00 – TAG – ends 12:00
• Wall 6 – B 32 counts – ends 12:00

• Wall 10 – A 32 counts – ends 12:00
• Wall 11 – A 32 counts – ends 6:00
