CROSS, ¼, ROCK-AND-TOUCH, ROCK-AND-CROSS-SIDE-CROSS, ¼
1Cross-step right foot over left
2Make ¼ turn to the right, stepping back on left foot
3&4Rock right foot to right side, recover weight onto left, touch right toe next to left
5&6&7Rock right foot to right side, recover weight onto left, cross right foot over left, step left foot to left side, cross right foot over left
8With weight on right foot (and right foot is crossed over left from previous step), make a ¼ turn to the right, stepping forward onto left foot
This turn means you have to bring your left foot 'over' your right foot as you make the turn. It's not as awkward if you hitch your left knee a bit too. Instead of stepping over your feet etc, you could instead 'unwind' a ¾ turn to the left putting your weight onto your left foot. This is arguably no easier or harder, it just gives a bit of variety as the music changes through the song.
