*** I have not seen a choreographer's sheet for this dance. The two
sheets I have seen, one on Dancin' Downunder and the by Gordon Elliott
differ in two places (swapping a step for a touch & vice versa
elsewhere). Lacking an original sheet I have transcribed the above
with what feels more natural. On count 16 Gordon Elliott's sheet has a
touch to the side. On count 21 the Dancin' Downunder sheet has a touch
to the side. These touches are replaced by steps in the other sheet,
respectively. In both cases a touch seems more natural to me, so I have
written both as touches.
