           VARIATIONS:
           Do the dance as written up to the 6th wall which you will do steps 1-20. If you listen to the music is says something about football. On counts &21-24 do a squat making a 1/4 turn to the left, then stand up facing to front (another 1/4 turn right). Count as follows:
17-20     Step left to left side, slide step right beside left-step left to left side, touch right beside left
&21-24  Step left, make a 1/4 turn, squat for two counts, 1/4 turn to front

From then on, for counts &13-16, instead of doing what is written do toe points with the left foot. For &21-24 do toe points with right foot.

The next time do 1/2 turns (2x). The next time do slow paddle turns. Then fast paddle turns. Then heel jacks. Then spank the baby (hold hand up other spanks the baby). Then the Herkie Jerkie. The last set you will do as written.
