#16 count intro - Clockwise rotation; start weight on RIGHT

Choreographer's note: Don't be put off by the counts—it will take less than a minute to teach the first half of the dance!
Then you can spend some time and focus on the second 32, which has a little more to think about but still is very do-able for beginners.
This can be an easy floor split for Rachael McEnaney's dance Rock & Roll King, or any other dances to this fun track.
