TOE, HEEL, CROSS-STEP, CROSS-STEP
1With weight on left foot, touch-tap right toe in front of left foot, angling toe & body slightly to left side (almost a 45 degree angle)
2Shifting angle of body to right side (almost a 45 degree angle to right of original line-of-dance), touch-tap right heel in front, also angling right foot to right side
During counts #1 and #2, ball of left foot remains in place while leg heel shifts from one side to the other to help angle the body in the appropriate direction-often called a Sugarfoot movement.
3Step forward and across in front of left foot with right foot
4Cross-step with left foot behind right foot, by sliding left foot forward, hooking left instep behind right heel creating scissors steps
STEP, CROSS-STEP
5Step forward with right foot
6Continue scissors steps by cross-stepping with left foot behind right foot, again sliding left foot forward, hooking left instep behind right heel (weight on left foot)
