Two variations of this dance are widely done
1.) The dance starts on the "Reggae" steps.
2.) The Reggae steps are done first to the left, then twice to the right.
If you travel around a lot, be ready to accommodate these differences with a smile because the dance is great to do in any case!
ROCK STEPS:
1-4Weight on left foot, begin with right foot rock forward then return weight to left foot. Step right foot back to rock backward, then return weight to left foot.
1-¼ PIVOT TURNS - 3 LEFT PIVOT TURNS AND STOMP/CLAP:
5-12Step forward on right foot then change weight to left foot and make a ½ turn to the left. Step forward on right foot then change weight to left foot and make a ½ turn to the left. Step forward on right foot then change weight to left foot and make a ¼ turn to the left.
