1 - 2Step R forward; Hold

This is derived from "the trucker," a dance move in the 30's. The footwork of last 4 counts will eventually feel like swivel steps, turning ¼ left.
BEGIN AGAIN!!!
The dance ends on the 3:00 wall after the L stomp, R heel toe heel swivel. After last R heel swivel, Step R to right side, look left to audience, L arm forward (palm up) R arm up (palm facing audience). Tah dah!!!
