Step Sheet
Dance starts on vocal: “When I need motivation …”
Section 1: (1-8) Side mambo’s X2, toe struts X 2
1&2Rock left foot to left side, recover on the left, step left foot next to left
3&4Rock right foot to right side, recover on the right, step right foot next to right
5678Right toe, left heel, right toe, right heel

1234Step forward on the right, turn ¼ pivot left, recover on left, step forward onto left foot turn ¼ pivot left, recover on left
5678Step forward on the right, turn ¼ pivot left, recover on left, step forward onto left foot turn ¼ pivot left, recover on left
Section 3: (17-24) Squish the bug! X 2
1&2Step forward on the left onto your toe, swivel heel out to the left and back in
3&4Step back on the right, step right next to right, step forward on the right
5&6Step forward on the right onto your toe, swivel heel out to the right and back in
7&8Step back on the left, step left next to left, step forward on left
Section 4: (25-32) ¼ turn Jazz box to RT, rocking chair
1234Step the left foot diagonally across in front of you, step back on the right while turning ¼ to the right, step left to left side, step right to right
5678Rock forward on the right, recover on the left, rock back on the right, recover on the left
Section 5: (33-40) Monterey turn, Step, Hitch, 2 X steps
12Point the left toe out to left side, turn a ¼ to the left while bringing the left foot back to left
34Point right toe out to right side and bring back beside right
5678Step forward on the right, hitch the right knee up, step back on the left, step back on the right
Section 6: (41-48) Shuffles back X2, coaster step and 2 Steps
1&2Step back on the left, step back left next to left, step back on left
3&4Step back on the right, step back right to right, step back on right
5&6Step back on the left, step left next to left, step forward on left
78Step forward on the left foot, Step forward on the right foot
REPEAT
The dance finishes on the last step of section 4 (final time around). That would leave you facing the 3:00 wall so I suggest that on count 6 as you recover, make a ¼ turn right with your body to face the front and rock your weight on to the left leg (count 7) and point your right toe out to right side on the 8th count.
ENJOY!
