NOTE: I prefer swinging movements for the Charleston steps where feet swing around in half circles for each touch and step. You might opt for straight steps instead for an easier alternative.
Option: For a non-turning option in Section 1, consider heel switches for counts 5-8 instead of pivot turns.
-This dance goes great with many types of music. When using alternate songs, tags and restarts can generally be worked out fairly easily, but I usually have fun just dancing them straight through. They often catch up with the original phrasing on their own. If you prefer to add a 4-count tag after Section 4 in some songs, a standard jazz box (without turning) works well.
