REPEAT
1) In counts 5-8 of the first section, the action of the arms resembles what you would do on a pectoral exercise machine (pec-decs) in a gym 2) Pedro Machado revealed that the &3 &4 counts in the ROGER RABBIT section were originally envisioned as being slightly different (and a little more difficult), but were simplified to the above for ease of teaching. The steps he showed me were as follows:ROGER RABBIT BACK RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT&1Scoot back on left as right leg extends behind you, lock step right in behind left as you lift left knee
&2
Scoot back on right as left leg extends behind you, lock step left in behind right as you lift right knee
&3
Scoot back on left as right leg extends behind you, lock step right in behind left as you lift left knee (keeping weight on left foot)
&4
Keeping right foot locked behind left ankle, rock back on to right popping left knee (keeping feet in the same position), rock forward on to left
3) In the ROGER RABBIT section, the knee lifts on the 1,2,3,4 counts are small, more like knee pops really (lift the knee, but keep the toe of the raised leg pointed down and just in contact with the ground)
4) Again in the ROGER RABBIT section, the upper body leans SLIGHTLY forward on the & counts and SLIGHTLY back on the on-beat counts.
5) In the HEEL JACKS & HOOK TURNS section, try FULL turns to the left instead of ½ turns.
