Victory

Sequence:

A, A, B, A, A, C, Break, A, A, B, A, A

This is done to track 3 version on the CD. The last track on the CD has a different mix and the dance will fit differently. You will know if it is this version as it has a shorter intro. You can dance it A, A, B, A, C, Break, A, B, A, A, A partially but during the 2nd 8 it ends so turn around and face front on last note

SECTION A

KICK ROCK STEPS

¼ PUSH TURN WITH ¼ HOP TURN

VINE & FAST JAZZ SQUARE

I prefer to do a body roll from up to down on 7-8

KICK ROCK STEPS

¼ PUSH TURN WITH ¼ HOP TURN

VINE & FAST JAZZ SQUARE

SECTION B

HOP SIDE TAPS SLIDE

KNEE POPS KNEE SWIVEL

Go with the music which holds 5 a little and is a little faster on 6, 7

SAILOR STEPS ON MAMBO TIMING WITH QUARTER TURN

You should probably drift slightly backwards during these sailor steps

You may decide it is easier to turn the quarter turn during the last sailor

I prefer to count this in mambo timing which has an accent that counts 2,3,4 hold, 2,3,4 hold. So that first side step left which is the 1 beat is a count but in mambo it would sort of be a throw away count with the real accents on 2,3,4 hold (Q,Q,S). The count of mambo would be faster than (double time) the line dance count. So don't get confused. The actual steps counted by line dance count are correct, but if you are familiar with mambo timing you may prefer to count this as 2 groups of 8. (1, 2, 3, 4, hold, 5, 6, 7, 8, hold, 1, 2, 3, 4, hold, 5, 6, 7, 8 where every count except the hold denotes a foot step)

HOP TAPS & KICK

These steps move forward a little (toward the left wall)

HARD TAPS & FLICK

A flick is a coupe or cut step where the right replaces the left and the left is brought through an attitude position very quickly (you will be facing the front wall). The general feel of this step is down in to the floor, not like a jump. As you flick and take weight on the right, it will be in a bent position

VINE & PADDLE SPIN

The step on count 7 doesn't quite take full weight. It is a prep for, or the first count of, a paddle turn to the right. The paddle turn goes from count 7 all the way to count 5 of the next 8. You should make at least 2-3 turns here and some of you will go 4

SECTION C

SIDE STEP TAP

I also teach this as a quarter turn by keeping the feet in place and turning the upper body first to the left (7) and then unwinding the hips and lower body to let it turn to the left also (8)

SIDE STEP TAP WITH SNAPS

Repeat the above moves but don't bring the feet together on the taps. Just keep the feet apart and tap the foot and angle your body toward the direction of the tapped foot and snap with both hands up bent at the elbows fingers about at ear level

BREAK

Hips go left, right, left, right, left, right to the music which seems left, right...left-right...left, right
