CHA-CHA BREAK-SIDE BACK FORWARD

CHA-CHA SWIVELS-RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT

Upper body stays facing mostly forward during these swivels. When doing each step, bring the free foot next to the weighted foot so that both feet are pointing forward before stepping down to get an exaggerated swivel action. It should be just like swivels in couples cha-cha where the couple is holding hands facing each other. Also, like a "skaters" movement in other line dances.

CHA-CHA, PIVOT-CHA-CHA-CHA STEP PIVOT

Optional: Full right turn to right on counts 8&, then ¼ turn onto right on count 1. This fits the lyrics "...twirl you all around the floor..." in the George Strait song.

STEP PIVOT, CHA-CHA (SHUFFLE)-STEP PIVOT SHUFFLE

POINT, POINT, SAILOR SHUFFLE

LOCK STEPS FORWARD-STEP LOCK STEP LOCK STEP

Stay on the balls of the feet, and try swiveling the hips a little for extra "latin-esque" styling. This is a move that is intended to emulate Yvonne Gutsch doing Cha-cha.

REPEAT

If done to "I Just Want to Dance with You", the dance will end on the first mambo step pattern. Also, this dance "breaks" on count 2 (or count 6). It's timing is based on "freestyle" Cha-cha.
