RIGHT CROSS BALL CHANGE, CROSS TOUCH, HOLD |
(MOVING SLIGHTLY FORWARD) |
This pattern of 8 is written in basic line dance form. The styling should be as follows: |
The ball change on counts "&2" is done outside shoulder width with left leg extended and |
may feel like a rock or push step. The right leg (support leg) is bent. The weight stays |
centered over the hips. The right cross touch on counts "&3" have similar feel. Bend both |
knees on the right cross. On count 3, the left leg (support leg) is bent, and the right leg and |
toe are extended to the right. Think of balancing a book on your head under a low ceiling. |
Stay low and do not bounce with the ball change moves. |

1-2 | | 1/2 turn right on ball of left foot (lifting right knee and placing right foot |
| | beside knee) This two count turn is done in releve to give the feeling of being |
