2001 - The BC Coaster     Word doc
Fast, advanced and totally unique, "2001" was voted "Dance of the Year" in this area and it became a standard in Australia. Simon Ward told me this dance inspired him to start choreographing his own line dances.

Across The Sea      Word doc
I choreographed this with my good friend Jan Wyllie, one of Australia's top choreographers, to a wonderful song by George Strait & Jimmy Buffett.


All My Heart      Word doc
A PERSONAL FAVORITE DANCE, also other choreographers have told me this is their favorite dance of mine. Try it if you like dances with a strong rhythmic and emotional connection to the music. Although it's slow, it's a little challenging because it's so unique. The video lesson breaks it down well.

Lesson

AMOIO      Word doc
This easy beginner dance can be enjoyed by novices. It flows to the Connie Francis classic, "My Heart Has A Mind Of It's Own". The title is the acromym for "A Mind Of It's Own". For more dances to classic songs, check out my page Dancin' To the Oldies.


Bones      Word doc
Choreographed to "Hambone" by Carl Perkins, this dance will appeal to intermediate dancers who like a really fun dance with quick footwork.  If you need a slower option, try Tanya Tucker's "Strong Enough to Bend".
Demo and Lesson


Boot Scootin' Boogie      Word doc
a.k.a. Vancouver Boogie, Bootscoot Boogie. It is also referred to as "The Original Boot Scootin' Boogie" because, as far as anyone can prove, this was the first dance with this name.  I choreographed it before Brooks & Dunn ever met. Ronnie Dunn's song was first recorded in 1989 by Asleep At The Wheel in 1989. I choreographed the dance in 1990 and it's still being danced today. In Australia - where all beginners learn this dance - it was used to set 6 consecutive Guinness World Records.
This was the first of my dances to reach over 1 million views on YouTube. The various videos of Boot Scootin' Boogie now total over 6 million views!

Bright Side of the Road      Word doc
(a.k.a. Longneck Bottle depending on music choice)
A good dance to give beginners an introduction to fast-tempo dances.


Bump And Grind     Word doc
As "bumpy n grindy' as a dance can get! Remember "Tush Push contests"? 
Try a Bump And Grind contest! Fun to watch but more fun to dance.


Canadian Stroll      Word doc
This is the EASIEST and SHORTEST dance. I suggest teaching in in your beginners' first class because it is just 16 counts with one easy turn, so it's very easy to remember.. Popular! When monthly international surveys of line dances were being compiled, this dance was on the list every month for being taught somewhere in the world..
Demo and Lesson


Chill      Word doc
This dance will remind you of the R&B dance routines of The Temptations.  It's a little tricky, so make sure your dancers are up for a challenge.


Close Encounters     Word doc
My only CONTRA DANCE.  I was as hired to do the choreography for Sting's video of "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Cryin'".  This dance was the result, but that song is very slow, so try "Move It On Over" or "No News".  This dance was awarded 1st place at the popular Golden Gate Classic choreography competition.
Demo
Lesson


College Hustle      Word doc
NOVICES LOVE THIS ONE! I choreographed this super-easy dance for teaching at private parties for people who had never seen a line dance before.  It's even suitable for teaching outdoors on grass.   There are two video lessons. Besides the Tracy Walters lesson teaching the dance according to my original choreography, I am including the lesson by Carrie McNeish because I really like her variation with diagonals.

Commitments To Love      Word doc
This is danced to a bluesy swing song by the Commitments.  The dance has a long and challenging pattern featuring many types of toe moves.


Cowgirls Twist  (a.k.a. Cowgirl Twist)     Word doc
ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR LINE DANCES.
Testament to that is the number of views on YouTube - around 2 million - and the incredible number of different videos posted from all over the world - over 150 videos! The 's' in Cowgirls comes from the signature song, "What the COWGIRLS Do" by Vince Gill. I mention that because many people mistakenly call it "Cowgirl Twist". Check the alternative songs like "Do You Love Me" in the third video offered here which has terrific dancing!. Or try Chubby Checker's "The Twist", Scooter Lee's "Twistin' The Night Away", or "Mambo No.5".
Lesson
Demo
"What the Cowgirls Do"


Demo and Lesson
"Do You Love Me"


(The) Diamond     Word doc
This is an early dance of mine and I'm sure "The Diamond" was the very first line dance to use a diamond shape pattern in a waltz.  It is meant for faster waltz songs in the range of 120-150 bpm. BTW: The video is kind of a relic of a bygone era. It dates from 1994.
Lesson

Dig The Groove     Word doc
This is a totally unique dance, a love it or hate it. The song "Super Duper Love" is what I call a "slow groove", so that's the reason for the title. I hope you 'dig' it, but I know it won't appeal to country fans.


Dream Walk      Word doc
Dream Walk is designed for your favorite slow songs.  I like "All I Have To Do Is Dream" by The Everly Brothers, but a word of caution:  The Everly Brothers released different versions of this song.  Avoid the one that is killer slow.


E. M. S.      Word doc         
E.M.S. stands for Easy Mustang Sally.  This is a super easy dance for beginners and they will really enjoy dancing to the perfect line dance song "Mustang Sally".

Demo
Lesson


Everybody's Somebody's Fool      Word doc
Not at all tricky, this beginner dance is for the terrific Connie Francis hit from the 50's, "Everybody's Somebody's Fool".  You can also try it to the upbeat Cajun Country song "We're Here to Stay" by Jo-el Sonnier.
Demo


Evil Weevil      Word doc
Caution: Tricky!  Maybe too tricky. Only a few of my intermediate dancers were able to master the evil swivels and turns.  But if you are up for a challenge, or maybe you want to learn a dance with a swivet in it, maybe this is for you.


Faith      Word doc
Inspired by George Michael's song "Faith", this is a low intermediate dance.  I'm sad this one sort of fell between the cracks and I didn't teach it at any big events.  If you don't like the tag (necessary because of the pause in the song "Faith"), try this dance to "Sweet Little Shoe" by Dan Seals.


Flowers      Word doc
The full original title is Flowers (By Any Other Name).  It is specifically choreographed to "Flowers on the Wall" by Eric Heatherly and it requires patterning (a specific sequencing of sections of the dance pattern).  But if you learn my dance "Sweet Smile" first, this dance will be very easy... Sweet Smile is the basic 32 counts of this dance.


Forever Dance      Word doc
I really like this dance and I encourage you to give it a shot.  It is Intermediate level because of the paddle turns, but the slow tempo gives good beginners a good chance at it.  There is an easy restart.  We accidently found out it goes really well to the song "Just A Little" by Liberty X.  or try it to a Latin song like "Loaded" for a totally different feel.


Gimme That Rhythm     Word doc
It's a fun and fast little Intermediate dance to a great song by The Borderers for whom I also choreographed Mama Jazz and Mama Knows Best. This dance proved very popular in California and Washington.
Demo


Give It A Whirl     Word doc
Intermediate fun.  The big "whirl" stays right where it should be with the insertion of an easy 2-count tag.  My Aussie friend Rosalie Mackay co-choreographed this with me.


Home on the Range     Word doc
Voted Vancouver's "Line Dance of the Year" and won me the top Western Canadian choreography award at the ODAA's.  Suzy Bogguss' wonderful version of "I Wanna Be A Cowboy Sweetheart" is perfect, as is "On My Radio" by the Woolpackers.
Demo


Hot Pepper     Word doc
This rousing dance with quick footwork features an elevated heel click (a "bell kick"), although a scuff-scoot-step works too.  This was choreographed to Jimmy Buffett's "Pascagoula Run" but also try it with "Puttin' On The Ritz" by Taco.  "You're The One That I Want" from the musical Grease is the fastest song so of course that's the one that is popular in Australia even though that song requires a sequence of tags.  Choose "Pascagoula Run" if you do not want to deal with tags.
Lesson


I Can Do It     Word doc
Try these unique jazz boxes.  And you can have a lot of fun with those hip bumps!  I have had some feedback that this makes a great performance dance.


I Only Want To Be With You     Word doc
I love Dusty Springfield!  This Dusty Springfield classic inspired this unique upper beginner dance. It features "skate" combinations. There are no syncopations in the dance.
Demo and Lesson


I'm With You     Word doc
Yvonne Anderson and I co-choreographed this intermediate dance.  This one did not take off.


Imagination     Word doc
I choreographed it to "I've Got To Use My Imagination" and, if I do say so myself, it is an 'imaginative' dance with a very original beginning.  And it works with energetic country songs too!


Jambalaya Joe    Word doc
Calorie burner!  This 32-count, 4-wall line dance can take as little as 5 minutes to teach an experienced group. My song choice is "Jambalaya on the Bayou" by Eddy Raven & Joel Sonnier.   There are many versions of this song recorded at different tempos.  I recommend versions around 128 bpm.
Demo
Lesson


Jump In      Word doc
This 80-count dance has been alive and well in Australia and New Zealand for many years.  I used the lyrics to help choreograph the moves, so you will find the "Movin' and groovin'" and "Jumpin' and stompin'" hit the words every time.   As it happens, the dance is also perfect for "Jump" by the Pointer Sisters!


Kick Start     Word doc
Fun syncopations in a beginner-level dance. Probably the first dance ever choreographed to a Shania Twain song. Hardly any one, even in Canada, knew how to pronounce her first name when I found this song on her first album.


L.D.C. Express      Word doc
The full original name is "Line Dance Country Express". 'Express' is the key word here, because the faster it is danced, the better! It is for instructors who like to choose edgy dances and dancers who like a challenge. It has been used multiple times as an advanced championships dance.
Demo and Lesson


Little Ship      Word doc
This dance is designed for everyone who likes rhumbas.  I choreographed it by request for the 5th Anniversary of CLDAS (Singapore).  The song, off a recently discontinued CD, is otherwise unavailable, so here is a sample.  If you find you can buy it somewhere, please let me know. On the step sheet I offer other good song options.
Demo and Lesson


Little Squirt     Word doc
The original song I choreographed this quick little dance to was "Little Miss Honky Tonk", but also consider "Hey Bartender" by Johnny Lee or "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y" (Tritt) which really connects well with the footwork.  Or, for a completely different experience, choose a funky slow song.
Demo
Walk-Thru

Long Live Love      Word doc
This is a one-wall intermediate/advanced dance with a challenging double-sweeping full turn, a "Tops Turn", which unfortunately limited its popularity. The choreography is done entirely with "L" shapes inspired by the song title.


Longneck Bottle - See Bright Side Of The Road


Louisiana Kick >     Word doc
Upper Beginner/Low Intermediate popular, upbeat dance.
Mel McDaniel's "Louisiana Saturday Night" is a great song and I tried to work the feel of the energetic song into the moves.  You will find long weaves, kicks and claps. Be sure to start quickly after only 16 counts so that the kick always hits the words "kick off your shoes".
Demo


Make It Snappy      Word doc
I choreographed this dance for total novices and I have successfully taught it at private parties to people who have never even seen line dancing before. They felt a great sense of accomplishment and that's what it's all about. I suggest keeping the music very slow, using "Snap Your Fingers", but advanced beginners will have more fun with a faster song.


Mama Jazz      Word doc
INTERMEDIATE FAVORITE. "Mama Knows Best" (below) is another dance to the same song but for beginners because this song struck me as the most fun of any one I've ever worked with. This is dance has remained of my favorites. I was able to play with the lyrics of this entertaining song. For extra fun, be sure to shout "Get Off That Phone!" when you reach those words in the lyrics.
Demo and Lesson


Mama Knows Best      Word doc
When I was working with The Borderer's song "Mama Knew Best", I came up with two dances: Mama Jazz (intermediate level)), and this beginner-level dance.  It just materialized in no time at all! Mama Knows Best features Charleston kicks in keeping with the jazzy music.  I love hearing that seniors are enjoying this active and fun dance.  It's a good linedance for dancercise.
Lesson
Demo


Million $ Cowboy 2000     Word doc
Ronnie Beard asked me to create a dance to this song after he re-did it specially for us linedancers as a perfectly phrased song.  How's that for great support from a singer?.  So be sure to get the version with "2000" in the title.


Minute Waltz       Word doc
Minute Waltz (no relation to Chopin's music) is a beginner waltz with a flowing pattern.  I called it that because I knew my intermediate class would learn it in a minute.  It has a unique 3/4 turn near the end. I would teach this to beginners, but not until they managed a good number of other beginner dances.  It could be the first waltz line dance they learn.  If you think you dancers will not enjoy the full spin, it is easily left out.  This line dance is a very popular in Europe.  It is often used in competitions.
Walk-Thru
Demo


Moon Time     Word doc
This dance is a good way to introduce to beginners to kick-ball-changes. Try the slower suggested song, "Blue Kentucky Girl" by Emmylou Harris, one of my all-time favorite country songs.


More Where That Came From     Word doc
Rick Tippe invited me to choreograph a dance to this song from his popular album, "Shiver 'n' Shake". Do not let the 128 counts scare you off; the dance isn't very scary at all... everything repeats, so the dance takes no longer to teach than a 64-count dance.


My Annie     Word doc
The Joel Sonnier song "Polk Salad Annie" was the inspiration for this energetic dance. It is not for beginners because of its fast and tricky footwork!. Please watch out for errant step sheets of this dance. Always use a choreographer's own step sheet rather than re-writes.
Walk-Thru


Neutron Dance       Word doc
 If you like fast footwork, I think you will like this one.  I choreographed this line dance to the Pointer Sisters' mega hit "Neutron Dance".  but ever since I danced it to the Bekka and Billy song "Old Hickory Lake", that is my favorite. Plus, it's country!
Demo and Lesson


No Trippin       Word doc
Have you always been afraid of applejacks? This is designed to introduce Applejacks and some other not-so-common moves. It's a challenge for experienced dancers and it's meant to be funky with a hip-hop feel. Check the country song and non-county song names and you will see where I got the dance name.


Not Going Home    Word doc
The Borderers commissioned this dance and were kind enough to have me in mind when they wrote the song. It's such a fun song that it was easy to choreograph a fun dance to it. Grant Gadbois volunteered to help me choreograph it and his energy is apparent in the choreography. To simplify the intermediate choreography, simply change the montereys to side touches.


Open Up     Word doc - a Latin-styled dance with interesting moves and rhythms, choreographed to "Abriendo Puertas", meaning "opening doors". This samba is by Gloriana on the Mucho Mambo various artists collection. (Sorry, you cannot use the Gloria Estefan version of the song - it just doesn't work.)  This dance has the simplest tag ever... simply hold for 2 counts.  If you want to avoid dealing with a tag, use the country song "The Whispering Wind" by Mandy Barnett for a flowing, slower feel.


Ophelia     Word doc
Ophelia was among the most successful of the early  (1994) "funky" line dances, and it is still going strong in various regions, spread around the world, as it was, from having been chosen for so many different dance competitions.  It has been chosen for UCWDC Worlds competition, the CWLDA International Grand Championships, and many different CWDI competitions, both regional and international. I encourage you to try it to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" but many, especially seniors, seem to prefer the original slower song "Ophelia" by Vince Gill.
Lesson and Demo


Rainbow Rhythm     Word doc
Rainbow Rhythm is a fast intermediate dance suitable for two-step music with an original sequence of claps that give the dance its name. Usually a dance comes AFTER a song, but, flipping the script, Dave Sheriff wrote the song "Rainbow Rhythm" after he saw us dancing this dance!


Rip    Word doc
Paul Simon's Greatest Hits collection includes the song I choreographed this dance to, "You Can Call Me Al".  The dance is aerobic and fun, and quite unique.  The side-scooting section is a particular favorite.  In some regions, this was nicknamed "Vancouver Rip".


Roll Back      Word doc
Scooter Lee asked me to create this dance for her song "Roll Back The Rug".   Jo Thompson did the excellent teaching video here.  You can order Scooter Lee's songs at scooterlee.com.
Lesson


Santa C Boogie     Word doc - Santa Clara, Santa Catalina, Santa Cruz?  It's NOT just for Christmas time, but this was choreographed to The Tractors "Santa Clause Boogie".  Whatever song is used, the dance is quite easy-to-learn, just 32 counts.


Sh-Boom     Word doc
Choreographed to a great oldie from the 1950's,
"Sh-Boom" by The Crew Cuts. Be careful because there are two versions of the song and one doesn't measure up. Please make sure you have the version by The Crew Cuts, not The Chords. Twice during the song the music fades momentarily and we dance through the breaks, keeping the tempo. This dance has been a hit in both the US and the UK. It's either upper beginner or easy intermediate (because of the syncopations). BTW: It makes a great performance dance as you can see in the Demo video here.
Lesson
Demo


(The) Shake (a.k.a. Shake Down, Rattle & Roll)      Word doc
There are lots of videos of this dance from a lot of different regions. "The Shake" is easy but lots of fun. It is done to one song, "The Shake" by Neil McCoy.  Get into those shimmies and don't hold back!

Show Me The Money      Word doc
This requires a most unusual count-in of "5-6-7-8-9-10"! I found this song on Amazon.com as a FREE and legal music download.  It grabbed my attention immediately as something totally different and fun... a high energy polka.  This dance has one restart.


Singapore Swing      Word doc
WORLD RECORD SETTER!  Choreographed to Clint Black's old-time country swing song, "You Walked By", it features Monterey 1/4 turns.  
I introduced it at my workshops in Singapore in 2001. The following year this dance was used in Singapore to set the Guinness World Record for the LARGEST LINE DANCE with 11,967 dancers officially counted!.   It was thrilling counting in my dance and helping set the world record.

Slap City      Word doc
Old style fun dance, a quick 32 counts.  And, of course, slaps! This dance achieved 'big hit' status in Europe and Linedancer Magazine (UK) featured it.
Demo


Something Easy      Word doc
BEGINNER 'WINNER'!  This title says it all.  I was (and still am) responding to those numerous requests for more dances that are easy and fun.  I think you will enjoy this one!
Demo


South Coast Swing      Word doc
West Coast Swing was the inspiration for this line dance which is also designed to be done "in a slot" like the couples dance.


Southern Cross Cha Cha      Word doc
INTERMEDIATE WINNER!  A new song suggestion, "It's Alright" by Trisha Yearwood has revitalized interest in this classic dance. Originally inspired by Jimmy Buffett's song "Boomerang Love", the dance has a theme of forward and return movements (like a boomerang). It ends with a true "4 corner cha cha", unlike the dance called "4 Corner Cha Cha". This dance has "legs", meaning once learned it is often requested for years afterward.
Demo
Lesson


Southland Waltz      Word doc
This intermediat line dance contains many of my favorite waltz moves. Check out the PARTNER DANCE OPTION on page 2 of the script.


Step Back      Word doc
BEGINNER FUN!  I really enjoy the challenge of creating an easy dance that is lots of fun. For beginners, the turns are made very easy with the hitches ACROSS the knee telling dancers which way to turn. This dance works with very fast songs!
You know how you sometimes blank on how a dance starts? With this one, the name of the dance tell you how to start it!
Check Demo 1 to see young people enjoying dancing to "Hold Your Horses".This is maybe my favorite video of one of my dances.
Check Demo 2 to see seniors enjoying Step Back at a slower tempo.

Lesson


Still The One     Word doc - Canadian singer Jeanette O'Keeffe commissioned this dance for her first single release.  When international surveys were being compiled, Still The One was mentioned among the world's best known line dances. My students insisted I revive this dance every year. A keeper! (I finally found and posted this Lesson video in 2025, quite a few years late.)
Lesson


Sugar Dip      Word doc
Even though this is a very easy dance, the choreography encourages dancers to move like experienced dancers instead of simply "stepping" through the dance.  I highly recommend this one for novices at private parties or conventions.


Sunny Guy      Word doc
A very easy dance to "My Guy" or "Sunshine And Summertime".  It is a good dance to introduce novice dancers to triples because the triples start as bumps and then progress to shuffles. This line dance has a "tight" pattern; that is, it does not cover much area, so there will be no problem if you have a small dance floor, or a crowded dance floor.



Sweet Smile      Word doc
The Dean Brothers (UK) asked me to choreograph a dance to one of the songs on their latest album "Stuck On You" (released in 2000). I chose the upbeat song, "When My Little Girl Is Smiling".  This is a super-easy dance.  If you can't get hold of the Dean Brother's album, try this dance to "Sweet Sweet Smile" by the Carpenters.  Be sure to use my current step description for this because I had a change of mind about the choreography and it is now different from the original version of the dance (sort of like when a movie has a "director's cut").


That Old Swing      Word doc
The choreography plays with the word "swing". Even though this dance has a tag, local dancers ranked it among their top favorites for years. (Hey, any dance that remains very popular for more than a year is worth mentioning, right?)


Three Quarter Cha Cha      Word doc
A "social" or "colloquial" cha cha (country style, not Latin), this is suitable for upper beginners and will help get them over the fear of turning.
Walk-Thru


Thump Therapy     Word doc
"Boogie till the cows come home" with this fast, challenging and original dance.  This one takes time to learn because it's loaded with unique moves, but I guarantee smiles all around when it is mastered!


Thunderbolt     Word doc
Thunderbolt was an early 'standard'/classic and is still seen in various parts of the world because it's a crowd-pleaser.. Thunderbolt is upper beginner with quick and fun footwork to "Lovin' All Night" by Rodney Crowell (or "Liza Jane" by Vince Gill).   You will find the shape of a thunderbolt (lightning) in the pattern.
VARIATIONS: The video provided teaches the first sections with 4 vines, but the original choreography is Side-Together-Side 4 times.
Dancing this in Australia they add 4 moves so I made note of those extra moves on my step sheet.
Lesson
See note at left.


Tops      Word doc
Like the name says, you'll find yourself spinning like a top. (I also used the "Tops Turn" in Long Live Love.)  A group of us at in my class at The Lotus created this dance.  Stand warned about the last few very tricky steps.


Tumbleweed 2      Word doc file
If you like bluesy swing music and like the feel of the moves that match it, this intermediate dance is for you.  The signature song is "Tumbleweed" from the fabulous "Swingin' The Blues" collection.  This was one of the first line dances to be picked up by instructors at events where I taught it. The dance has a challenging pattern with short walls, etc., but you can avoid those "special events" by dancing it to "If It Will, It Will" by Hank Williams Jr.
Lesson then Demo


Two Minute Waltz      Word doc
In 2004 while I was in Australia, Jan Wyllie and I decided to do an extension of MINUTE WALTZ (see above), using it's 24 counts and adding 24 more.  This is the result.  Try it to the beautiful song "What If I Say Goodbye" by Vince Gill.


Vancouver Boogie - see Boot Scootin' Boogie


Vegas Boogie       Word doc file
Vegas Boogie has one tag. But if you are "In The Mood" for a fun dance that feels like 1930s-40s swing dancing (with a twist), maybe this one is for you.


West Point Grey Blues     Word doc
At the end of a 10 week Beginner Class, I suggested to the students that if they would tell me their favorite parts from the dances they learned, we could put together a dance.  They loved the idea and I think we came up with a cute little dance. It has a move like bowling.  Why bowling?  The class insisted on including it because this was at the West Point Grey Lawn Bowling Club.


Whirl-Y-Reel      Word doc
Linedancer Magazine's "Dance of the Year" nominee (2000), this dance became one of the world's best known line dances of 2001, -02, and -03.  The signature song is "Whirl-Y-Reel I (Beard & Sandals Mix)" by Afro-Celt Sound System, but do not use any other remix because the dance has a special sequence designed to connect with the various musical themes that appear in that particular mix. And that is what makes it so fun to dance.

Whoosh      Word doc file
Energetic line dance to an terrific and unique song from South Africa with an infectious beat. You don't have to go to Africa now to buy the CD. Jan Wyllie has it on her CD "Dancing with Jan and Bill". Click here to order the CD.


(The) Wine Dance      Word doc
This is a cool, refreshing swing dance. This dance was a popular 'floor filler' for years, and it's appeal is not likely to age.  Try The Fantastic Shakers' song: "Too Much Drink" as well as the original inspiration, "Wine, Women And Song".
Lesson


Winter Wonder Walk     Word doc
I choreographed this very easy beginner line dance to my favorite Christmas song, "Winter Wonderland". I do not claim this as my original choreography; it is an adaptation of the old classic dance "All My Exes", simplified a bit and shortened.


Wonderfully Crazy      Word doc
This dance is mostly the choreography of Grant Gadbois, and it has just a few Bill Bader touches. At one point we changed the name to "Something Like This", but it is back to its original name.)


Workin' (9 to 5)     Word doc
This dance is mostly the choreography of Lisa Strong, with a little help from me.  Everybody loves this song and this aerobic dance fits the music very well.


WOW      Word doc
WOW is only 32 counts, but it is loaded with interesting, unique combinations, so it is challenging.  The wonderful song by George Strait, "You Can't Buy Your Way Out Of The Blues" inspired this dance, but it's equally enjoyable danced to "Somethin' In The Water" by The Cheap Seats.  The choreography features pencil turns (also called platform turns), a rare move not often seen in line dances.
Lesson


You Got It     Word doc
This could be one of the easiest dances ever choreographed. The song "You Got It" by Roy Orbison is terrific, but it's not perfectly phrased, so I chose to make the dance just 28 counts. You will find it comes back on phrase at just the right climactic moment in the song.
Walk-Thru
