Step Sheet

This dance is dedicated to all my rowdy friends who like to "Make Lotsa Noise" when they dance.

BACK & FORWARD; FORWARD & CENTER - FORWARD & ½ TURN RIGHT, FORWARD & ½ TURN LEFT (MAKING AN "X")
1&2Step right back behind left at an angle (toward 8:00); return weight to left; step forward on right (2:00)
