&2 Turn ¼ right, step right foot to right side, touch left toe to left side, bending right supporting knee slightly
The big toe edge of left foot is touching the floor; the left knee should be facing the 3:00 wall . During this movement, keep looking at the 12:00 wall
3 Turn ¼ left, small jump onto the left foot centered under body, small flick with the right foot up behind you.
To not kick anyone, keep your knees close together and the flick small
4&5 Step forward with right, lock step with left foot in behind right, step forward with right
6-7 Rock forward with left foot, recover back to right foot
8&1 Turn ¼ left, step left foot to left side, step together with right, step left foot to left side

6-7 Rock right foot crossed behind left, recover forward to left foot, starting to turn left slightly
&8 Complete a total of ¼ turn left which was started on count 7, rock back with ball of right foot, recover forward to left foot
Styling for ball change on &8: keep body upright with weight forward over left foot, bend left knee slightly to lower body. The right foot should be back about a foot behind you as you do the ball change. You might feel as if you are in a slight lunge position with the legs. It is not low though. (Notice the count here is &8, not 8& as you might normally have in this kind of cha. The music has the feeling of &8 here, thus I chose to choreograph &8 for musicality.)
REPEAT
ENDING: At the very end of the song, it may be hard to feel the beat, but keep dancing. The last beat of the song should be as you step to the left side following the two Mambo Cross Rocks in the 3rd set of 8. Stomp that left foot to the side for a strong finish
