dance at the last 32 counts and then repeat the last 32 counts one more
time. See end of step description for the ending.
Music: Swingin' by Blu Cantrell (So Blu CD…easy to locate in stores and on the internet) SEQUENCE · full dance (96 counts—start facing 12 o'clock) · tag (4 counts—happens when you face 3 o'clock) · full dance (96 counts—start facing 3 o'clock) · full dance (96 counts—start facing 6 o'clock) · restart dance from the third 32 counts—start facing 9 o'clock) · restart dance from the third 32 counts—start facing 12 o'clock) · dance will end with the "heel twist" section…rather than kick on count 4, step L across in front of right and wave hands in the air when they sing "swingin'." Really…it's not as bad as it looks! |
