Phrasing - No tags or restarts. (Rotates Anti-Clockwise)
Note: I wrote this dance for my absolute beginners class which started in May 2023. I wanted a little dance to introduce them to coaster steps, however most I found seemed to have only 1 or 2. I wrote this with 4 coaster steps so they can really get a hang of them quickly. There are also two kick-ball-changes, however we previous did these in "Ski Bumpus". The song is a great country song and I can't help but get in to the groove!
