Styling – Cts 29-32 can be styled slightly open to right diagonal (4:30) for ease
Styling – you can cowtail the last kick at ct 32 into the Stamp in ct 1. (Cowtail is sweeping the foot in a circle from the knee, behind the body. This move is from Lindy Hop)
This dance was inspired by the stamp and cowtail flair that dancers do in the NYC scene (and elsewhere) while dancing the line “Askin’ Questions” ♥
