This dance was designed for new beginner dancers at our Dunedin 60 Plus Line Dancing Club, with the goal of introducing and reinforcing several fundamental steps commonly used in line dancing.
During the initial teaching phase, we recommend dancing it as a one-wall routine by omitting the ¼ right turn at step 29 and completing the K step at the front wall. This allows new dancers to focus on mastering the steps without the added challenge of changing direction. Once they’re confident, it can be transitioned into a full four-wall dance if desired.
Alternative music we have used for various theme days include:
Music: That’ll Be The Day – Buddy Holly
Intro: Start on the 2nd word, “That”, approximately 4 seconds in.
Restart: During Wall 5 (facing 12:00), dance the first 16 counts, then restart the dance.
Music: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life – Monty Python
Intro: Start on the word, “Always”, approximately 25 seconds in.
Music: I’m the One Who Loves You – Dean Martin
Intro: Start on the 3rd word, “All”, approximately 9 seconds in.
Tag: At the end of Wall 5 (facing 3 o’clock), add a 4-count tag:
Side, Touch, Side, Touch (R to side, touch L beside R; L to side, touch R beside L)
On final wall (facing 9:00), dance counts 1–16, then:
Step R to side, step L beside R, turn ¼ R stepping forward on R, touch L beside R — now facing 12:00.
Intro: Start on the 1st word, “Cupid”, approximately 8 seconds in.
No tags or restarts but to finish at the front wall, omit the ¼ turn on the final K-step
Music: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer – Bellamy Brothers
Intro: Start on the word, “Rudolph”, approximately 21 seconds in
The songs may be vintage, but so are we — classic, coordinated, and still hooked on the dance!
