LINE & COUPLES VARIATIONS CHOREOGRAPHED BY JOHN WALTON

This underlying rhythm of the music for this music is a fast samba; the dance lends itself to a variety of variations, some of which can incorporate the samba style of dancing. Samba rhythm consists of a series of "medium, short, long" beats. The following text uses the convention of showing these short beats as "a" beats. They always correspond to short steps.

 

VARIATION 1: LINE DANCE WITH SAMBA WALKS

Instead of the hip bump sequence during the last 6 counts of the dance, try a "progressive samba walk". You can add any degree of Latin body styling as you wish.

 

VARIATION 2: LINE DANCE FOR COUPLES

Except for the last 8 counts, this is the original line dance with a sweetheart hold, and the man just changing sides (and arms) with the turns. The objective of the last 8 counts is to get the man back on the lady's left side, ready to start the next wall. The method shown here is three over the head turns (no cheating!). Start in sweetheart position with the man to the left of the lady and slightly back
