Styling and Variations:
For the coolest look of a Million Dollar Cowboy, have your hands grasping your belt buckle - or
pretending to. Once in a while at counts 1-4, hold your thumbs near your chest as if holding out
suspenders. The words of the song lend themselves to some fun variations.
ENDING: At the end of the song "Million $ Cowboy 2000" the music slows down as you are
dancing the heel jacks at &21&22&23. Slow down with the music, ending the steps with your
Right heel forward (Count 23). Then "Dust Off" as the music fades: brush the top of your right
thigh with your right hand (to right then left or vice versa).
