2&aStep right behind left, step left next to right, step right to right diagonal

6&aRock right forward, recover weight back to left, step right back
7&aStep left next to right, step right forward, step left forward
8Hitch right foot
Note: To give the dance some levels, when you are doing the pivot turn on counts 4-5, you can rise to the balls of your feet to give that moment a little more elevation so that when you hit that delay between 5-6, you emphasize it more with the natural coming down to normal dance level on count 6. Works well with the chorus. Also, rise to the ball of your foot on count 8.
