*Choreographer’s note: you can substitute two 1/2 pivot turns for the Rockin’ Chairs (counts 5-8 and 21-24)
The dance starts on the vocals on every song, but the lead in varies. The Band of Oz version has a long intro, so you can either wait 80 counts (36 sec) or start sooner, waiting 32 counts (14 sec) but you will be dancing before the full vocals start. With the Otis Day version, you start after 32 counts. With the Boys Club & a Babe song, you start after 32 counts.
