LADY: Rocks back on left foot
7MAN: Sidesteps left foot to the left (¼ turn to the right)
LADY: Recovers forward on right (¼ turn to the right)
8MAN: Recovers forward to right foot (¼ turn to the right)(very little right foot movement here)
LADY: Steps left foot across in front of man and then pivots ¾ turn (on left toe) to the right to promenade position

You can really put a lot of "tango styling" in this. (or "fun" style). This can be done side by side with the line dancers without any problems.
