COASTER FWD, COASTER BACK, SHORTY GEORGE
1-2Step LF fwd (1), step RF beside LF (&), step LF back (2)
3-4Step RF back (3), step LF beside RF (&), step RF fwd (this step fwd can also be done as the first walk of a Shorty George by rolling knees to R as the RF steps fwd) (4)
5-8Shorty George walks fwd L,R,L,R (try throwing in hand gestures for extra fun and laughs)
SAMBA TURN L, VINE R WITH ¼ TURN L AND HEEL TOUCH FWD
a1a2Samba step around a full turn in a small circle: Raise LF heel and turn LF to L and twist upper body to L (a), small LF step ¼ L (1), bring RF to heel of LF (third position) and transfer weight to RF while raising heel of LF off floor (a), small LF step ¼ L (2)
a3a4Raise LF heel and turn LF to L and twist upper body to L (a), small LF step ¼ L (3), bring RF to heel of LF (third position) and transfer weight to the RF while raising heel of LF off floor (a), small LF step ¼ L (4) (this should complete the full turn L ending with weight on the LF)
5-8Step RF to R (5), step LF behind RF (6), turn ¼ L and step back on RF (7), extend L leg fwd and touch heel of LF on floor with only enough weight to balance (8) (Tip: lean back to prevent weight transfer to LF; extend L arm back & R arm fwd & turn head & chest slightly L)
CHANGING RHYTHM WALKS FWD (TOE, HEEL, TOE, HEEL, WALK, WALK, SHUFFLE)
1-2Lift heel of LF and transfer weight fwd onto ball of LF by leaning body fwd (DO NOT move RF or arms) (1), drop LF heel and transfer full weight to LF (DO NOT swing arms) (2)
3-4Step fwd on ball of RF and swing L arm fwd and R arm back (3), drop heel of RF (4)
5-6Step fwd LF (5), step fwd RF (6) (swing arms as in a normal walk)
7&8Shuffle fwd (L,R,L) (7&8)
STEP, TOUCH, STEP, STEP AND POSE, BOBBLE HEAD
1-2Step RF to R (1), touch LF beside RF (2)
3-4Step LF to L (3), step RF beside LF with equal weight and pose and freeze (be creative, but as an example, put hands on hips and then freeze body) (4)
5&6&7&8Now for the most fun part: Freeze pose and bobble head any way you want for 4 counts (be creative; OR, do the same bobble as a group if done as a precision show dance - LoL - precision show dance?!)
START OVER
VARIATION: TRY SLOW MOTION WALKS FWD TO OCCASIONALLY REPLACE THE CHANGING RHYTHM WALKS
&1-2Transfer weight fwd onto heel of LF (keep L toe raised) (&), roll fwd onto flat LF and release heel of RF off floor (start slow motion swing of arms as in normal walk; also, move head and eyes slowly) (1), lift RF off floor and slightly fwd while still in air (arms should be passing in opposite directions but opposite one another at sides at this point) (2)
3-4Move RF slow fwd past L knee (continue slowly moving L arm fwd and R arm back; all other body movements should be slow) (3), step fwd on heel of RF keeping RF toe high off floor (arms should be fully fwd and back) (4)
5-6Slowly drop toe of RF to flat with weight fwd and release heel of LF from floor (start slow swing of arms so R arm is starting to move fwd and L arm back (5), lift LF off floor and slightly fwd while still in air (arms should be passing in opposite directions but opposite one another at sides at this point) (6)
7-8&Move LF slow fwd past R knee (continue slowly moving R arm fwd and L arm back; as well, all other body movements should be slowmo) (7), step fwd on heel of LF keeping LF toe high off floor (arms should be fully fwd and back at this point) (8), quickly drop LF to flat and finish swing of arms (&)
