Choreographer's note;  ***Please note dance description steps 61-76. The description

for these steps is done as simply as words can get. Basically, all you do is: Heel

split, weight on the ball of your Left foot and swivel your L heel to the Right and,

at the same time, put your weight on your R Heel and swivel  your Right toe to the

Right; It is even better when you see it done!

As choreographer of this dance, I give permission for it to be taught and performed

in competitions. I hope you have fun with this dance just as I did choreographing it.

Also at the end of this dance, you will find that you will be able to finish the dance

facing the front wall, where you started and finish by crossing R over L and removing

your hat, when the lyrics say 'Yeehaa'.
