ROCK AND ROLL STEPS AND LEFT ½ TURN WITH OPTIONAL ARM MOVEMENTS (LOOK NICE)
1-2Touch right toe forward, step on right foot
Arms: hold your opposite partner's right hand
3-4Touch left toe forward, step on left foot
Arms: as you begin to turn left, raise right arm higher so you can turn with your partner together still holding hands, you may have to bend body back slightly to compensate for different heights
5-6Complete half turn left (now facing new wall) at same time, touch right toe, step on right foot
7-8Touch left toe backwards, step on left foot
Alternatively you may hold hands just for the first 4 counts and release hands when doing the turns. The union of both right hands will help both dancers to "pass" each other on the right side. However, those who feel awkward in holding hands, please raise both arms above elbow level with lots of attitude
9-16Repeat the above 8 counts and you should face the original wall

1-2Step right foot to right, recover on left

7-8Step on right, recover on left and clap at same time (optional)
