”DREAM WALK”: 4X STEP FORWARD, BRUSH HEEL
As the title implies, we want a lilting walk, as if feet are almost weightless. Scuffing the
heel heavily will destroy this effect, so brush the heel lightly, almost without sound.
17 Step L forward a little to the left
18 Brush R heel lightly beside Left
19 Step R forward a little to the right
20 Brush L heel lightly beside R
21 Step L forward a little to the left
22 Brush R heel lightly beside L
23 Step R forward a little to the right
24 Brush L heel lightly beside R (This elevates the L foot. Keep it raised for the next move.)
4 RONDES: SWEEP TOE COUNTERCLOCKWISE FRONT TO BACK, STEP BEHIND
25 Lift L foot out to left side then sweep the L toe on the floor counterclockwise back
26 Step L directly behind R
27 Keeping R toe on the floor: Sweep R toe clockwise out to right side and back
28 Step R directly behind L
29 Keeping L toe on the floor: Sweep L toe counterclockwise out to left side and back
30 Step L directly behind R
31 Keeping R toe on the floor: Sweep R toe clockwise out to right side and back
32 Step R directly behind L
