Blue Sky Shuffle (P)

Position:

Begin facing LOD. When done as couples begin in right open promenade (standing side-by-side holding lady's left hand in man's right), ladies have the option of performing all steps on the opposite foot (this way when they get out of step they can say they did it on purpose). If you do the dance on the opposite foot remember to do the turns at counts 41-48 in the direction of the free foot. If men do the steps as follows and ladies do the opposite footwork, they will be facing each other on 49-56.

Advise teaching the dance as written before telling the students about the opposite footwork. Stress patterns (step, scuff, kick, kick) while teaching rather than which foot does what.
