During the chorus, replace the 2 full turns in the second half of the last 8-count four with steps forward, putting your arms out to the side and pretending to balance on a tightrope–(R,L,R,L) for 5,6,7,8.
The rocking chair in the first 8-count is meant to be very jumpy, as if you are falling off the tightrope, whether you’re doing the spins or tightrope walk–each step should be more like a hop than a rock-recover.
The grapevine and pivot step in the second 8-count are connected–instead of tapping RF next to LF to complete the grapevine, you’ll step RF forward to begin the ½ turn pivot.
I would love to see videos of you doing my dance(s)–tag me on Instagram and TikTok
