Dance: Good Friends Song: Good Friends Artist: Adam Brand Album: Good Friends Choreography and copyright: Mark Simpkin, 5/2000 Level: Intermediate Walls: 2 Count: 44 [7,9,7,10,7,4] Bridge/restart: 4 count tag every front wall & restart on 6th wall Dance Beat: moderate Start: Weight on right foot, feet apart Note1: I was taught this dance slightly differently (eg: a step, ball-step became a forward shuffle). Since I was taught by the choreographer, I've modified the step description below to reflect how it was taught. It appears slightly differently elsewhere. The actual steps are the same, just described differently. Note2: The song beat slows down on the 7th wall after the restart and the song becomes a guitar solo. The normal beat resumes with the 8th wall. * &Together, 1/4 turn, rock-step, 1/2 turn shuffle, 1/2 step-pivot: &1 Step LEFT beside RIGHT (on &), step RIGHT to RIGHT side, making 1/4 turn RIGHT, 2- 3 Rock LEFT foot forward, weight back onto RIGHT, 4& 5 Shuffle back (L,R,L) with 1/2 turn LEFT, 6- 7 Step RIGHT forward, make 1/2 pivot turn LEFT (weight onto LEFT), * Shuffle, rock-step, coaster-step, step, shuffle: 8& 9 Shuffle forward (R,L,R) with an optional full LEFT turn, 10-11 Rock LEFT foot forward, weight back onto RIGHT, 12&13 Step LEFT back, together with RIGHT, step LEFT forward, 14 Step RIGHT foot forward, 15-16 Shuffle forward (L,R,L), * Side rock-step, cross, hold, &side, rock-step, 1/2 hinge turn: 17-18 Rock RIGHT foot to RIGHT side, replace weight onto LEFT foot, 19-20 Cross RIGHT foot in front of LEFT, hold, &21-22 Step LEFT to LEFT side (on &), cross-rock RIGHT foot behind LEFT, weight forward onto LEFT, 23 Step RIGHT foot to RIGHT side making 1/2 hinge turn LEFT, * 1/4 turn shuffle, 1/2 turn, back, back, coaster, fwd, fwd, shuffle: 24&25 Shuffle forward (L,R,L) with 1/4 turn LEFT, 26-27 Make 1/2 pivot LEFT (on LEFT) & step RIGHT foot back, step back on LEFT foot, 28&29 Step RIGHT back, together with LEFT, step RIGHT forward, 30-31 Walk forward LEFT, RIGHT, 32&33 Shuffle forward (L,R,L), * 1/4 turn, 1/4 turn, rock-step, side, rock-step: 34-35 Make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT foot forward, make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step LEFT to LEFT side, 36-37 Cross-rock RIGHT foot behind LEFT, weight forward onto LEFT, 38-40 Step RIGHT to RIGHT side, cross-rock LEFT foot behind RIGHT, weight forward onto RIGHT, * Hip bumps: 41-44 Step LEFT to LEFT, rocking HIPS LEFT, rock hips RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT.
