Step Sheet
32 Count, 4 Wall
***VERY important – start the dance on the first wall on COUNT 9
(Start 8 counts into the song after she sings “Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears” Count the 8 with the piano notes as your guide)
(1-8) R night club basic, L side, R behind-side-cross unwind & sweep full turn L, L behind-side-ball cross R twice
(9-16) L cross rock ¼ L, ½ turn back, L coaster step, R fwd rock & recover, 1& ½ turn R, L fwd
(17-24) R fwd rock & recover, R back diagonal step lock step, L side-cross over-side, R back rock & recover, ¼ L toaster step
HOLD for 2 here on wall 6 and then complete the dance
(25-32) R fwd, L fwd, ½ R pivot turn, ¼ R & L night club basic, R night club with ¼ L turn, R fwd, ¾ L turn
Phrasing Note: We loved the song but the phrasing made it a challenge to choreograph to. Because the song starts immediately with no intro you need to start the dance the first time through on count 9. Dance 3 walls as written and then you will have 3 walls with restarts and 1 with a hold . These will come on the front wall, back wall, left side wall and front wall.
On the 4th wall (9 o’clock): dance the first 28 counts and restart the dance (you will be facing 12 o’clock)
On the 5th wall (12 o’clock): dance the first 24 counts (the music is all instrumental for this wall) and restart the dance (you will be facing 6 o’clock)
On the 6th wall (6 o’clock) dance the first 24 counts (you will be facing 12 o’clock). There is a pause in the song so HOLD for 2 counts and then continue with the final 8 counts of the dance to bring you to 9 o’clock wall
On the 7th wall (9 o’clock): dance the first 28 counts and restart the dance (you will be facing 12 o’clock)
Ending: 9th wall (3 o’clock): dance the first 5 counts bringing yourself to the front wall and hold.
