Section 1: R forward, L shuffle forward, quarter-together, sway-sway-sway, quarter sailor
1Step R forward (1), slightly across L
2 a 3Shuffle L forward: Step L forward (2), R ball step (a) slightly ahead of L, step L forward (3) across R. For smooth curve for steps 2 through 4 a, angle body slightly to the left to start turning a quarter with the next steps.
4 aR step quarter turning to left (9:00), ball step L next to R {a)
5 6 7Sway R to right (5), sway L to left (6), sway R to right (7)
8 & aL quarter sailor step: sweep L around and back behind R to 7:30 (8), step R next to L (&), squaring to 6:00, then step L next to R (a)
EASIER OPTION: For really fast music or to make things easier, instead of a quarter sailor (8 & a), you can step L forward a quarter (8)
NOTE: Essentially, you are shuffling forward on the L, then doing a chasse quarter in which the last step of the chasse is the first of three sways. The steps flow better if you curve into the quarter turn by angling left as you do the forward shuffle

Section 2: R step-ball-step-ball-step, L scissors, R side, L scissors, R side, L close
1Step R forward (1)
a 2Ball step with L (a), step R forward (2)
a 3Ball step with L (a), step R forward (3)
4 & aL scissors: step L to side (4), close R next to L (&), step L across R (a)
5Step R to side (5)
6 & a 7Repeat 4 & a 5: L scissors (6 & a). Step R to side (7)
8Slide L close next to R.
EASIER OPTION: You can leave out the "a" counts in 1 through 3 and just RLR walk-walk-walk (1 2 3).
