Other Music: Have you ever seen the rain (Miss Montreal & Liow) [115 bpm]; If We Never Go (The Steel Woods) [117 bpm]
NOTE: Foxtrot rhythm is SSQQ except for the Box Fox which is SQQ timing. Steps are described for Lead; Follow steps are opposite except where noted. S = slow (2 beats of music); Q = quick (1 beat of music); LD = Lead; FW = Follow; FWD = forward; R = right; L = left; RF = right foot; LF = left foot; LOD = line of dance which is counter clockwise progression around outside of dance floor.
No tags or restarts!
Starting position: Closed hold with good frame and connection, and Lead facing diagonal wall in LOD.
[1-6] ZIG (SSQQ)
1-4Facing diagonal wall step LF FWD (S), step RF FWD (S)
5-6Step LF to L turning ¼ R (Q), step RF beside LF (Q)
NOTE: On 5-6 Lead's step L should rotate couple ¼ R. Follow's step R should be smaller than Lead's step.
[7-12] ZAG (SSQQ)
1-4Step LF back toward diagonal center (S), step RF back (S)
5-6Step LF to L turning 1/8 L to face outside wall (Q), step RF beside LF (Q)
NOTE: On 5-6 Lead's step L should be quite small and rotate couple 1/8 L. Follow's step R should be slightly larger than Lead's step.
[13-20] BOX FOX (SQQ)
1-4Step LF FWD toward wall (S), step RF to R (Q), step LF beside RF (Q)
5-8Step RF back toward center (S), step LF to L (Q), step RF beside LF (Q)
[21-26] PROMENADE (SSQQ)
1-4Turn LF ¼ L and step LF FWD facing LOD (S), step RF FWD past LF facing LOD (S)
5-6Turn ¼ R and step LF to L (Q), step RF beside LF (Q)
[27-32] PROMENADE* (SSQQ)
1-4Turn LF ¼ L and step LF FWD facing LOD (S), step RF FWD past LF facing LOD (S)
5-6Turn ⅛ R and step LF to L (Q), step RF beside LF (Q)
NOTE: End with LD facing diagonal FWD R LOD ready to start over with a Zig.
*VARIATION FOR [27-32]: PROMENADE WITH OUTSIDE TURN
1-2LD: Turn LF ¼ L and raise LH and step LF FWD facing LOD (S)
FW: Turn RF ¼ R and step FWD facing LOD (S)
3-4LD: As LH goes over FW head turn ¼ R and step RF behind LF (S)
FW: Step LF FWD past RF and pivot ¾ turn R on ball of LF under L arm of Lead (S)
NOTE: Follow RF should be hooked across L shin at the end of counts 3-4.
5-6LD: Turn ⅛ L and step LF to L (Q), step RF beside LF and resume closed hold (Q)
FW: Step RF past LF to R and face Lead (Q), step LF beside RF and resume closed hold (Q)
NOTE: End with LD facing diagonal wall ready to start over with a Zig.
