SHAKE YOU DOWN
Choreographer: Barry Durand
Step Sheet
I am including this as 10 counts because the shake you down hips occurs on counts 7-10 but makes sense as an accent in the chorus
1-4Start by turning ¼ turn left and step forward left, sweep right foot around making another ¼ turn left facing 6:00, step right across left, turn ¼ turn left and step left
5-10Sweep right foot around and turn ¼ turn left facing 12:00 and step with right across left, step side left and rock hips left, right, left, right and on last rock to right turn ¼ turn left (9:00) on the right foot (7-10)
COASTER STEP, FAST VINE
3&4Back left, together right, forward left
5-6&7&8Forward right, fast vine moving forward sort of like a quick traveling lock step syncopated by locking left behind right, forward right, forward left, lock right behind left, forward left
