Additional Notes: This dance is based on men's footwork for various West Coast Swing patterns. If the dancer is familiar with West Coast Swing, this is an easy dance to learn. It can be done as a couples line dance, where the man executes the steps described here, and the lady follows with her corresponding WCS footwork. (Note: the lady's steps are NOT always a mirror of the man's). There are many stylistic variations that can be done for both partners - particularly if they are already familiar with WCS.
