Usage: This is a 36-count, two-wall line dance. . The original music is not in consistent 32 or 64 beat phrasing so just keep going without reference to the end of the phrase.

Note: If using a square dance version of Boot Scootin’ Boogie adjust the choreography to 32 beats by replacing the Vine Left and Vine Right with Side Touch Left and Right.
