VARIATIONS & FORMATIONS

This dance can be performed in multiple formations and versions:

 

~1. Classic Line Dance (with ¼ turn in Section 1):

– Danced over 4 walls with consistent quarter turns to the right

– Best suited for standard line formations (rows or blocks)

 

~2. Circle Formation (without ¼ turn in Section 1):

– Danced in one large circle; the dancers rotate gradually to the right

 

– Alternatively, use a double circle:

– The outer circle faces inward, the inner circle faces outward (back to the center)

– Both circles travel in a clockwise direction

 

~3. Partner Interaction Options in Circle Formation:

– In Section 4 (Step Touches), dancers clap hands with their partner diagonally to the right

– In Section 1, the two Rumba Boxes can be danced around the person opposite you
