Count:

Wall:
4
Level:
Intermediate ‘rolling 8’ line dance
Count In: 8 counts from start of track, dance begins on vocals. Approx 120 bpm
Notes: Tag – end of 2nd wall there is an 8 count tag, you will be facing 6.00.
Rolling 8: The dance has been choreographed using what is known as “rolling count” as in &a 1&a, 2&a, 3&a, 4&a etc.
Once you have the rhythm you may want to just count with regular “&” counts however I have broken it down on the step sheet in timing with the music using ‘a’ instead of ‘&’.
