I have been unable to find a dance sheet for this anywhere (it's not
on Kickit, f'instance), so hopefully I have the steps right. There was
a country alternative track for this dance, however I have no clue as
to what it was. I was taught the same dance, in successive years, as a
24 and 30 count dance, both versions are included below.


24 count version:
----------------
* Vine & touch, vine & touch:
 1- 4 Vine RIGHT (R,L,R), touch LEFT beside RIGHT,
 5- 8 Vine LEFT (L,R,L), touch RIGHT beside LEFT,

* Vine back & touch, toe touches side & forward:
 9-12 Vine back (R,L,R), touch LEFT beside RIGHT,
13-14 Tap LEFT toes to LEFT side twice,
15-16 Tap LEFT toes forward twice,

* Toe touches, jump, clap, hip bumps & 1/4 turn:
17-18 Tap LEFT toes to LEFT side, tap LEFT toes forward,
19-20 Jump with RIGHT slightly forward & LEFT slightly back, clap,
21-24 Hip bumps to RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT & 1/4 turn LEFT on last.

Repeat
