If you like, try a "Shorty George" for counts 1-2&3-4. I keep watching people do this step and hope to one day be able to look good doing it. Without being an expert I see and feel the step like this: After count 2, step onto the right foot for the '&' count and bend the knees slightly, keeping them close together, angled slightly left as you step forward for count 3. Switch the diagonal for your step forward on count 4, keeping the bend in the knees
STEP, LIFT, TRIPLE FORWARD - STEP, LIFT, TRIPLE ½ TURN
1-2Step right foot forward, lift left foot next to right calf (turn slightly right & push your 'bum' back a little)
3&4Step left foot forward on right diagonal, step on ball of right next to left, turning slightly to the left step left foot forward on left diagonal (3&4 will resemble a twinkle)
Keep the diagonal slight and going forward
5-6Step right foot forward, lift left foot next right calf (turn slightly right and push your 'bum' back a little)
7&8Step left foot forward (prep for ½ turn left), turn ½ left stepping back on right foot, take a small step back on left foot
Keep thinking 'back' because the first step of the dance is your small back step
REPEAT
