REPEAT
Because this is an older dance, variations are plentiful, and the dance is done differently in different parts of the world
Add 1⁄2 turns to the left to counts 21 and 22 to get the version most often seen on the west coast:
21    Turn 1⁄2 right and step left forward
22    Turn 1⁄2 right and step right back
For a 28-count version, omit the touch at count 5
There is a 32 count version that adds a step before count 1 like this:
STEP LEFT, KICK RIGHT
1    Step left forward
2    Kick right forward
To make it 32 counts, slow down all of those half turns at count 18 (now called count 19 because we added an extra step before count 1)
CROSS, BACK LEFT, 1⁄2 TURN
19-20-21  Cross right over, step left back, turn 1⁄2 right (weight to right)
STEP, PIVOT, STEP, PIVOT
22-23    Step left forward, turn 1⁄2 right (weight to right)
24-25    Step left forward, turn 1⁄2 right (weight to right)
When done this way, the heel swivels in the second-to-last count are usually done to the right instead of to the left
There is also a 25-count version where counts 14-17 are executed in two counts instead of four as:
14&    Touch right heel forward, turn 1⁄4 left (weight to left)
15&    Touch right heel forward, turn 1⁄4 left (weight to left)
Then replace counts 19-26 with
17-18   Step left side, cross right behind
19-20  Turn 1⁄4 right and step left back, step right side
21-22   Cross left over, step right side
Again, heel swivels are to the right with this version
To turn that into a 24-count version, some dancers will combine the first two counts as follows:
&    Kick right forward (or scuff right forward)
1     Step right back
