DON DON THE LIGHTS!
Choreographer: Don Deyne, modified by Jim Hart
Step Sheet
| Note: This dance is a modified version of Don Deyne?s ?Shaggin? the Line.? | |
| The first 24 counts (MAIN) are done each wall; the music determines when the various tags are done. My suggestion is to listen to the song while looking at the step sheet a few times before you actually try the dance. | |
| The Order of the patterns is: | |
| 1. MAIN, FREEZE | |
| 2. MAIN, STEP TOUCHES | |
| 3. MAIN, FREEZE | |
| 4. MAIN, SUZY-Q | |
| 5. MAIN, FREEZE, MAMBO STEPS | |
| 6. MAIN, FREEZE | |
| 7. MAIN, SUZY-Q | |
| 8. MAIN, STEP TOUCHES | |
| 9. MAIN, FREEZE | |
| 10. MAIN, ENDING | |
| Instructor should call out all tags for the class until the class gets used to when the tags are done ? make sure you call them out before you get to the full turn on beats 23-24! | |
