Choreographed for Dance Roundup '99 at Mystic Lake Casino, Prior Lake MN
This dance is done in 2 opposing lines -- guys on one side, gals on the other. Start the dance facing your partner, about one step away. Line up so your partner is to your right across from you. The lines cross, so you need to be able to go through the other line
SIDE, BEHIND, KICK BALL CROSS, SIDE, STEP FORWARD, STEP PIVOT
1-2Step side left with left, right behind in fifth position
3&4Kick left forward, step back onto ball of left foot, cross right in front of left (kick, ball, cross)
5-6Step left to left side, then step forward on right (this requires you to bring right foot close to the left before stepping forward)
7-8Step forward left, then pivot ½ turn right, weight ending on right
9-16Repeat steps 1-8
STEP AROUND
17-24Eight steps forward starting with the left
The idea here is to hook your partner's right elbow in yours and walk around 1 ½ times to the right so you end up on the opposite side you started from

25&26Side shuffle to the left, starting with left
27-28Right behind, replace weight to left (rock step)
