Hitch Slapped

Intro: 16 counts (11 secs) , Start weighted L

 

Heel Tap, Hitch and Hold, Slide R, Stomp L, Stomp/Hitch Slap/Stomp (facing 12)

 

Shuffle L ¼ Turn L x 2, Sailor Step ¼ Turn L, Walk R, Walk L

 

Vaudeville L, Ball Change, Hitch R, Shuffle Back R, Stomp/Hitch Slap/Stomp

 

Behind Side Cross L, Rock L, Behind Side Cross and Cross R, Unwind ½ turn

 

Restarts: Walls 4 and 7. Restart after 16 counts following the Walk R, Walk L. Wall 4 aligns nicely with music. Wall 7 happens after a rad 16-count piano riff.

 

That’s So Extra: Wall 2. Counts 15 & 16 (Walk R, Walk L). Pantomime playing an instrument like a trombone, trumpet, clarinet, or drum. The whole floor will look like it’s marching in a Mardi Gras parade when Drake White sings, “Stompin’ down Bourbon Street.”

 

End: Dance ends with a Stomp L/Hitch Slap/Stomp L on counts 23&24. Quite abrupt. Almost disturbingly abrupt. Like it will make you contemplate your own mortality.
