RIGHT CROSS BALL CHANGE, CROSS TOUCH, HOLD (MOVING SLIGHTLY FORWARD)
This pattern of 8 is written in basic line dance form. The styling should be as follows: The ball change on counts "&2" is done outside shoulder width with left leg extended and may feel like a rock or push step. The right leg (support leg) is bent. The weight stays centered over the hips. The right cross touch on counts "&3" have a similar feel. Bend both knees on the right cross. On count 3, the left leg (support leg) is bent, and the right leg and toe are extended to the right. Think of balancing a book on your head under a low ceiling. Stay low and do not bounce with the ball change moves.
