REDNECK HUSTLE

Choreographed by: Rick & Joan Bowen
Music: George Jones: Hi-Tech Redneck
Mary Chapin Carpenter: I Feel Lucky
Bellamy Brothers: Rip Off the Knob
Counts: 48

Note: The "undercut" moves are normally accomplished by doing a slight leap, moving the "drag"
foot into the space just occupied by the "stepping foot." This puts the stepping foot off the floor,
moving forward for a "step" on the next beat. This can be a bit tough on joints, especially the
knees so, this can be modified by doing a "knee pop" which raises the heel of the stepping foot,
sliding the drag foot under the heel. Undercuts are also normally done in a chasse to the side
rather than moving forward but what the hey! Use whatever move combinations work. That's
what makes this sort of dance fun to do.
