Wall:

Level:
Ultra Beginner
Please don't rush the counts, they are very slow! In the music, there is a very fast waltz beat. I wanted to simplify the counting for the dance. You will be counting 1, 2, 3, 4 using a slow count. If you listen to the waltz rhythm it will feel like step, hold, hold, step, hold, hold
SWAY 4 TIMES
1Step left to left side (allow arms to swing slightly to left side, about hip level)
2Step right to right side (allow arms to swing slightly to right side, about hip level)
3Step left to left side (allow arms to swing slightly to left side, about hip level)
4Step right to right side (allow arms to swing slightly to right side, about hip level)
The above 4 moves do not travel, are in place and should have a bit of a sway type feeling
DIAGONAL CHASSE FORWARD LEFT AND RIGHT
5&6Step left forward to left diagonal; step right beside left; step left forward to left diagonal
7&8Step right forward to right diagonal; step left beside right; step right forward to right diagonal
Optional arm styling: on count 5 allow wrists to cross at chest, on count 6 reach left arm to left front diagonal, right arm is down and slightly back so that arms make a diagonal line. On count 7 allow wrists to cross at chest, on count 8 reach right arm to right front diagonal, left arm is down and slightly back so that arms make a diagonal line
SWAY 4 TIMES
9-12Repeat the first four counts of the dance, the sway in place left, right, left, right
SLOW WALK 4 TIMES, TURNING ½ LEFT
13-16Take 4 small steps in place (left, right, left, right) making a gradual ½ turn left
This should feel like walking forward in a very small half circle. At this point, you will be facing the back wall
REPEAT
