This action may be replaced with “side, close, side, touch”.

13-16   Repeat counts 5-8.

17-20   Dancers walk forward in two slow steps (right, – , left, – ).
21-24   Dancers continue to move forward with two quick steps (right, left), and then step and turn one quarter to the right with their right foot, and kick forward with their left foot on the fourth count.
25-28   Dancers are now facing a new wall. They back up in two slow steps (left, right).
29-32   Dancers continue to back up in three quick steps (left, right, left) and clap on beat four. The right foot is free ready to begin the dance again facing the new wall.

Choreography by: Ben Highberger
Source: The original version is in Dancing For Busy People, page 274.
Modification: The version above has been modified from the original by adding an extra Vine Right and Vine Left and the Slow back two. This makes a 32 beat dance that matches the typical musical phrase instead of a 20 beat dance that begins in a different part of the phrase each time.
Usage: If the vine steps are too difficult, they can be replaced with “side, close, side, touch”.
