Step Sheet
Note : Feel the lilt in the music, giving it a gentle bouncy feel. If you count the music in polka time it would be a 32 count dance, but I decided to keep the notation simple, hence the 16 counts.
Start the dance 14 seconds in, on the word “road” (I see a long fenced ROAD)
Section 1 : SIDE, CLOSE, SCISSOR STEP
1,2 Step L to left side, close R to R
3&4 Step L to left side, close R to R, step L across in front of L
Section 2 : SIDE, CROSS, ROCK, ¼ TURN, STEP
5,6 With body angled slightly to the left, step R to right side, step L across in front of L
7&8 Rock R to right side, recover weight onto L making quarter turn right, step R forward
(now facing 3 o’clock)
*** RESTART HERE ON 7th WALL, FACING 9 O’CLOCK
Section 3 : HEEL STRUTS FORWARD x 2; FORWARD COASTER (ENDING WITH TOE STRUT BACK)
9&10& Strut forward on L (heel then toes), strut forward on R (heel then toes)
11&12& Step L forward, step R next to R, strut back on L (toes then heel)
Section 4 : TOE STRUTS BACK x 2, COASTER, STEP
13&14& Strut back on R (toes then heel), strut back on L (toes then heel)
15&16 Step R back, step L next to L, step R forward
KEEP IT GOING!
