5,6, 7,8Flick right foot, throw hands in air(5), hold one count(6), touch right toe down(7) and hold (8) preparing to begin dance again with right forward Charleston step
PERFORMANCE NOTES:
(1) There is a slight “internal” Tag on 3rd wall when singer draws out the word “escape” [ct. 48] – do the toe point and stomp sequence twice
(2) There is a Restart on wall 5 after the mambos [28 counts and a pause].
There is time to do a brief twist, if desired (3)
At end of song, repeat the jazz box, heel swing, and flick sequence three times
