This classic sequence dance script would now come under the heading "Old Time" but is still fun for beginners.
All the steps quoted are for the man; the lady’s steps are the natural opposite of the man’s. I.e. if man steps forward on his left foot, the lady steps back on her right foot.
Abbreviations :
LF = left foot; RF = right foot; S = slow; Q = quick; LOD = Line of dance;
Start with man facing down LOD, feet together. Timing
Forward LF S
RF to side Q
Close LF to RF Q
Back RF S
LF to side Q
Close RF to LF Q
Take wide step on LF to side S
Close RF to LF (no weight on RF) S
Take wide step on RF to side S
Close LF to RF (no weight on LF)
Repeat 1 – 10, then
Starting with LF: 9 walks down LOD finishing on LF. Timing : S S Q Q S; Q Q S S.
Next :
Forward RF, turning Right to face wall
LF to side, along LOD
Step back on RF, still facing wall; release Left toe.
(Timing for each step is: Slow)
Finally :
Whilst making a total of three-quarters of a right turn over the following 6 steps,
Forward LF, turning to Right; Forward RF, turning to Right;
LF to side, turning to Right; Forward RF, turning to Right;
LF to side, turning to Right; Balance back on RF down LOD, releasing Left toe, ready to start again.
(Timing for each step is: Slow)
On each of those last 6 steps, the turning to the right with the body is continuous and even.
Start again.
