Paradise Tonight

Phrasing Restart after 8 counts on wall 4 and after 28 on walls 6&8

Note: Both Mickey Gilley & Robert Mizzell’s versions use the same restarts and all restarts happen facing 12:00!

 

[1-8] Charleston Swings, Jazz ¼ Turn.

** Restart here on wall 4 (Start wall facing 9:00, restart facing 12:00)

 

[9-16] Forward Rock, Shuffle ½ Turn, Forward Rock, Shuffle ¾ Turn.

 

[17-24] Side Mambos Right & Left, Side, Close, Chasse ¼ Turn.

** Alternatively, you can use Mambo Crosses for counts 1-4

 

[25-32] Paddle/Chug Turn, Shuffle Forward, Paddle/Chug Turn, Walk Forward.

** Restart here on walls 6&8 (both start facing 3:00 and restart facing 12:00)

 

Easier alternative for paddle turns;

 

For the restarts on walls 6&8, listening for the music changing and they sing “ooooh, so this is paradise, ooooh, so this is paradise. Paradise all night” then start again.
