* If you do not have slick boots/shoes on or are not on a slick surface, instead of kicking both heels out at the same time you can kick the R Heel out & in on 1 - 2 and then the L Heel out & in on 3 - 4
** On Walls 2, 4, & 8 (when Emily Ann sings “Scratching out a living”) I like to substitute the VINE LEFT with HEEL & TOE SWIVELS LEFT
