**8 count tag/restart happens here at the end of wall 3 on counts 5&6, replace steps to kick ball touch (instead of putting weight on R) continue with Monterey turns: point R toe out to R, make a half turn over R shoulder and step R foot next to L, point L toe out to side, step L foot next to R, and repeat these 3 counts to come back to front wall, and replacing step on last count w/touch L toe next to right (will be facing 9:00)
Begin again and enjoy! Although this dance is an “odd” count; it is choreographed to the music as well as the chorus. We’re going through some difficult and uncertain times right now-this is just a FUN song – as I tell my students in class “make it your own”; during the chorus it says to put you hands in your pocket—I want you to just have fun!!!
