Over The Hill

Position:

In lines, back to back (approx 1 m apart)

While the first sequence starts with the lines back to back the next one will start with the lines facing. This alternating start direction continues throughout the dance

STEP HEEL, STEP TOGETHER, STEP HEEL, STEP TOGETHER

Try slapping left hands with your partner on step 2 & right hands with step 6 (with the heel taps)

STEP 1/8 TURN, SLAP, STEP 1/8 TURN, SLAP, DOUBLE HIPS RIGHT & LEFT

2 X SAILOR SHUFFLES, 2 X DIAGONAL CAMEL SLIDES (WITH ARM ACTION)

SLOW 'SWAGGER' WALK ¾ CIRCULAR TURN

Swing bent arms in a normal action

Lines should now be facing each other to start the 2nd sequence

REPEAT

After the 3rd sequence there are 4 extra beats - simply hold, clap hold, clap After the 5th sequence there is a 36 beat "Beverly Hillbillies" Theme instrumental section. For this you will face the other line & in typical hillbilly fashion, swing your partner

Now return to main dance (but with the lines facing - not back to back). This dance is intended for having fun, so during the bridge section don't even try to keep everyone in perfect formation. It doesn't even matter which foot you start the shuffles with! Just ensure you end up in lines facing each other & that you get your weight onto the right foot at some stage between beats 33-36

Towards the very end the music slows down. Just complete the sequence, (now facing out) then wait for the normal beats to return to finish the dance. Perform step 1-4, then step forward on right & pivot ½ left onto left, stomp/step right together.
