The first steps, done quickly, look like "hop forward, clap, hop backward, clap", |
with the "hops" really being quick steps. |
|

&3-4 | | Step back right foot, bring left foot next to right foot, clap |
|

| | right on the right foot |

2 RIGHT KICK-BALL-CHANGES, TURN |

24 | | Step forward left |

The next four counts are fairly athletic; you "hop" from position to position: |
29 | | Point left toe out to side, weight is on right foot |
30 | | Bring left foot in and weight it, while at the same time pointing right | | toe out to side |
31 | | Bring right foot in and hop onto it, while pivoting 1/4 turn to the left, | | and touch left |
| | heel out in front, all at once. At the end of this move, you are standing on your right, |
| | facing 1/4 turn to the left of the last move, with the left leg extended in front and left |
| | heel touching the floor. |
32 | | Bring left foot back and hop onto it, while pivoting 1/4 turn to the left, and touch |
| | right toe back behind you. So at the end of this move, you are standing on your left |
| | foot, facing another 1/4 turn to the left, with the right leg extended behind you and |
| | right toe touching the floor |
|
Repeat by immediately stepping forward right on the "and" count. |
