REPEAT
Relevé is a term borrowed from ballet. It means to raise the body (the weight) on toe up over the indicated foot. Of course, in Country dancing "on toe" means the ball of the foot.
This dance has an easy feel, kind of lazy, but with humor. Smile in passing, put in a slight wiggle or sway-but not much excess motion. Make it look calm and relaxed. Please do not overemphasize any step.
