HOLD, 'GROW' ARMS WITH RIGHT ARM FORWARD, LEFT ARM BACK
1-3While holding foot position (left foot forward), raise right arm forward and left arm back (palms down) in contra-body position. Use a rounded movement to achieve a soft "growing effect." Also, slightly bend left knee compressing down, right foot is stretched back
ARMS COLLECT WITH UNWIND ½ RIGHT, HOLD
1½ unwind right, bring both arms down (still using rounded movement), as you collect them in toward your body (collapse from elbows), leaving weight back on left foot, right toe will be pointed forward. (face 6:00)
2-3Hold
You may want to 'grow' your arms out to the sides to end and begin the dance again
REPEAT
RESTART
The dance restarts by dropping off the last 3 counts (the ½ unwind/hold) at the end of the 3rd wall, and at the end of the 6th wall. You will start both the 3rd and 4th walls at your start wall (12:00) as well as the 6th and 7th walls
END OF MUSIC:
Wall 7 slows down just before the syncopated ¾ right turn to 12:00 (counts 19-21). Match your dance steps to the music and finish by doing a slow ½ turn right and hold a pose
This choreography is danced on angles. Think diagonals. To achieve this, turn the foot out as you take the step and angle your body toward that position. The first 6 counts comprise a partial left turning box. Think of following a diamond shape
