Choreographer's note: I have given this dance a bridge option, for the simple reason that when using the song by Trace Adkins it slows down to almost a stop near the end of the song. Some DJs may want to finish the music there, but if allowed to continue and by using the very simple Bridge, the dancer will be able to continue the dance for nearly three more walls. For those of you into the 'sing-along-song' thing then check out the 'alternative music'. Dance starts with feet together and weight on the left foot
