This is an Intermediate level dance - 64 counts (although, there's a lot of repetition, so it's not as bad as all that), with one short tag and a restart. However, it does flow beautifully, feels great to do and looks great to watch as well.
Step Summary:
Begin with weight on left -rock out to right (side rock) and replace weight on left.
Cross shuffle, right over left, moving left.
Now two quarter turns - step onto left with a quarter turn to right, step onto right with a further quarter turn (you are now facing the back wall).
Cross left over right, hold and clap.
Now repeat these eight counts, to end up back where you started.
(Cue words: Side rock, cross shuffle, turn, turn, cross, hold.)
Next section is "forward, and back":
rock forward onto right, replace weight on left.
Walk back on right and left.
Rock back onto right, replace weight on left.
Step forward onto right and tap left to right.
Next section is danced more or less in place:
step out to left and sway LRLR (four counts), then do a reverse jazz box: cross left over right, step back on right, step out to left, and tap right next to left (don't close as we need weight to stay on left.)
Next section is cued with the word "chasse", ie a right shuffle, rock back on left and replace, then two kick ball crosses (you will find your body naturally angles on the diagonal for these), then repeat these steps moving the other way. (Chasse left, rock back, kick ball cross...) you will end with weight on left after the second kick ball cross.
Next comes two twirly turns.
step onto right with a quarter turn right, then step back onto left with a half turn, moving anti clockwise. Rock back onto right and replace weight on left. (you are now facing 9 o'clock wall)
Now moving foward with a full turn, step right and left, spinning around anticlockwise, ending still facing 9 o'clock wall. Walk forward R L.
Finish the dance with heel switches, R&L&R, clap. Put your weight onto R and bump hips forward for two and back for two, ending with weight on left.
That's the end of the dance, you are now ready to start again with side rock, cross shuffle.
A tag is when there are a few extra steps inserted somewhere to help the steps fit the music. A restart is when you restart from the beginning before finishing the full set of steps. This dance has one of each!
Dance the first wall all through, then on the second wall, insert this easy tag in after the jazz box: step right, touch left next to right, step left, touch right next to left. Then restart the dance from the beginning.
