&7(Hitch R)** Turn ¼ L while pointing R to R side (paddle turn) (12:00)

&8(Hitch R)** Turn ¼ L while pointing R to R side (paddle turn) (9:00)

**Styling These Paddle Turns are intended to be smooth, so while turning ¼ the R knee technically hitches, don’t exaggerate the hitch but rather focus on pointing the R foot

Overall styling: This dance is West Coast Swing rhythm and should be danced smoothly.
The kick ball steps should have no “hop” to them and could be thought of as a touch-ball-step.
Imagine your feet are gliding on the floor while dancing this dance.

Ending: On the 10th wall, the paddle turns will take you back to the back wall and the music ends.
When doing these paddle turns, paddle back to the front wall instead.

Have fun!
