Note: When rolling hips turning ¼ R & back ¼ L, there is no change in feet positions. Keep the feet position as it is on count 4.

5&6Step L back, step R beside L, press L fwd

7&8Step R back, step L beside R, step R fwd

Repeat!

Note: This dance is not totally phrased despite of the 3 restarts. It will be far too many restarts if it will to be fully phrased. Hence, I have chosen to restart the dance whenever you hear Ricky Martin sings “Upside Inside Out”. I think this is the best way to keep the dance pattern in phrase as far as possible with the least restarts incurred.
