BEGIN AGAIN...
 
(Right foot is already forward, step slightly more forward with Right foot to start pattern again)
 
NOTE: In One Night At A Time there is a break late in the song, so on the ninth pattern or when
facing the beginning wall for the third time, after count 32, in four counts simply rotate hips CCW
twice, then continue dance as written.
 
This dance works great for more uptempo songs too.
In counts 25-28 keep Toes in place and shift heels around a little at a time bumping hips to
the left with each shift to make the 1/2 CW unwind (4 counts) , clapping hands on #28.
 
Try the songs Puttin On The Ritz by Taco (100 bpm) or Put Some Drive In Your Country by
Travis Tritt (112 bpm) or try your favorite west coast song.
