WALK, WALK, SHUFFLE FORWARD, ¾ PADDLE TURN RIGHT

7&Step L to left, Press from L (shift weight to R) turning 1/8 to right (7:30)
8&Step L to left, Press from L (shift weight to R) turning 1/8 to right (9:00)
Note: During the paddle turn don’t worry about the exact walls. The 4 paddles must take you ¾ around to your right, that’s all (starting at 12:00, ending at 9:00). And if you slightly overturn or underturn, no worries, you can fix it with the next steps.
Option: To spice it up, you can do 4 turning hiprolls instead of the paddle turns.
