¼ BALL SWIVEL ON LEFT, ¼ BALL SWIVEL ON RIGHT, HIP THRUSTS, SHUFFLE, STEP ¼ PIVOT

Swivel your left heel only ¼ turn to the left (you will look like you are knock kneed in one leg). You then swivel your right heel only ¼ to the left (so that your feet are in line). You will only have made ¼ turn right.

 

¼ BALL SWIVEL ON RIGHT, ¼ BALL SWIVEL ON LEFT, HIP THRUSTS, SHUFFLE, FORWARD MAMBO STEP

Step forward on left make ¼ turn right. Swivel your right heel only ¼ left (your feet will be in the shape of a letter 'T' with the heel of your right pointing towards your left instep). Swivel your left heel only ¼ left (so that your feet are in line) you will only have made ¼ turn right.

Option: ½ pivot (&), hold (9)

The total turn is ¾.

The chorus section (Part B) is repeated twice at the end, the first time the section finishes at step 32. At this point start the chorus section (Part B) as normal and dance right through including the tag section. You will end the dance on the shuffle forward (steps 13&14). To finish just cross left over right clicking fingers at shoulder height

Optional hand movements for Part B (Chorus Section):

On the word "don't", both arms are outstretched down at 45 degrees to floor, palms parallel with floor and fingers out stretched (the palms of your hands should be roughly hip height)

On the word "stop", arms are at shoulder level, elbows bent at ¼ turn, forearms and palms parallel with body, fingers outstretched (scarecrow fashion)

On the word "movin'" arms are outstretched in front of you parallel with floor, palms at ¼ turn parallel with body fingers outstretched. (as if you are pushing against a wall!)
