19&20Shuffle in place-step on R (19), L (&), R (20)
21&22Shuffle in place-step on L (21), R (&), L (22), then do steps 23-24 as written above
[25 – 32] ¼ Modified Monterey Turn R x 2 (On each odd count, bend “support” leg a bit while turning knee and toes of your bent “touching” leg inward (your “core” will turn diagonally); return to straight, upright stance on even counts)
25-26Touch R to R side (25), turn ¼ R, bring R next to L & shift weight to R (26) (6:00)
27-28Touch L to L side (27), step L next to R (28)
29-30Touch R to R side (29), turn ¼ R, bringing R next to L & shifting weight to R (30) (9:00)
31-32Touch L to L side (31), step L next to R (32)
At very end of music fade out, you will be back on front wall before 2nd Monterey turn. Instead of doing second ¼ turn R, simply touch R to right and back to center, then L to left, and center.
