Start with the first downbeat after the vocals begin (you actually start at count 18.)
This is a two-step, and we’re counting every beat 1-2-3-4 rather than 1&2&3&4.
Feel free to try your favorite country or non-country song that inspires “Charleston” steps.
NOTE: This dance was choreographed spontaneously on the floor at Cowboys Night Club in Colorado Springs at the welcome dance party for Pikes Peak Line Dance Or Bust!
