CopperKnob Stepsheets

Wooden Nickel dates back to the late 80s or early 90s, somewhere in there. The way we learned it, we always began it with the lock step (Sec. 2) and finished it up with the 4 shuffles (Sec. 1). A couple small styling differences: where you specify a rock recover (Sec 3. 1-2) we danced a lock step on a right lead; where you specify a hitch right (Sec 4. 2) we did a kick right (sometimes a high kick, and sometimes even hopping backwards on the left foot if the music, momentum and the spirit moved us); where you specify a couple of stomps (Sec 4. 5-6) we just tapped the right toe in place. Same dance, slightly different presentation. Any medium tempo two-step music works for this dance but when I teach it I use Hard Out Here by Hayes Carll. Nice to see it's still alive and well.
