3-4    Touch left side, step left together

5-6    Touch right side, step right together

7-8    Touch left side, step left together

Optional hand motions: take both arms straight out to your sides and bring them back in with a clap.

4 WALKS FORWARD (RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT), JAZZ BOX WITH TURN 1⁄4 RIGHT

1-4    Step right forward, step left forward, step right forward, step left forward

5-6    Cross right over, step left back

For a 1-wall version of this dance, omit the 1⁄4 turn and walk back 4 steps right, left, right, left instead of doing the jazz box.

REPEAT

This dance was originally done in 1⁄2 time with holds on every other count. When you do it double time, you can do it to any east coast swing rhythm. It’s great to open lungs and create stamina for dancing long term.
