SWITCH (RIGHT) & SWITCH (LEFT) & CROSS UNWIND (TO THE LEFT), KICK & SIDE, STRONGMAN
1&2
Point right toe to right side; replace right foot next to left; point left toe to left side
&3
Replace left foot next to right; cross right over left (preparing to 'unwind' to the left)
4
Unwind a ¾ turn to the left (transferring weight to left foot)
5&6
Kick right foot forward; replace right foot next to left; step left to left side (weight on both feet)
Optional head movement on count 6 turn your head to look ¼ turn to the left (you should be looking at the 12:00 wall)
7-8
Pop both knees 'out, out' (goes in time with the word "row-dy" in the chorus)
Optional movement on count 7&8 the 'strongman' pose/movement: on count 7 raise your arms like this: Upper arms are out to your sides and are parallel with the ground (forming a 'T' shape with your body). Lower arms, however, are pointed at the ground still, and remain parallel with your own body. The overall effect is to make it look a bit like a 'strongman' pose. Hands are flat, with fingers together and pointing at the ground. The palms of your hands face backwards, and the backs of your hands face forward. The actual movement is much simpler than the pose! On counts 7&8, you simply lift your shoulders up, down, up, at the same time as the knee pops. Its even better if you nod your head at the same time
