Can be danced in a circle non progressive as above, but can become progressive by the man moving back while turning left (moves to right against LOD) and the lady moving forward while turning right (moves to left with LOD) onto the next partner on the last turn (counts 37-40)
It can be danced as a one wall line dance by adjusting the shuffles to return to the same starting point and ignoring partner arms. Just decide if everyone is dancing the man's or the lady's steps (mixed lines would turn to go sideways in different directions causing chaos)
Even line dance it in contra lines (each line doing all lady or all man)
