During counts #1 and #2, ball of left foot remains in place while leg heel shifts from one side to the other to help angle the body in the appropriate direction-often called a Sugarfoot movement.
3
Step forward and across in front of left foot with right foot
4
Cross-step with left foot behind right foot, by sliding left foot forward, hooking left instep behind right heel creating scissors steps
STEP, CROSS-STEP
5
Step forward with right foot
6
Continue scissors steps by cross-stepping with left foot behind right foot, again sliding left foot forward, hooking left instep behind right heel (weight on left foot)
SIDE, CROSS-STEP, SIDE, (TURN) HEEL

2
Cross-step to right side in front of right foot with left foot
