RIGHT & LEFT KNEE ROLLS, HEEL TOUCHES SIDE & ACROSS WITH SWIVELS
1-2 Step right to right side as you roll right knee to right
The foot action will be a ball, flat motion as you roll the knee out to the right. You may also lead with the right hip, like a jazz walk in place.

Same styling as above
5-6     Touch right heel to right side & slightly forward, touch right heel in front of left
7-8     Touch right heel to right side & slightly forward, touch right heel in front of left
As you do these touches with the right heel, you should swivel on the ball of the left foot and will travel slightly to the right (very similar to the move called a "Dwight Yoakam"). The left heel will twist to the left as you touch the right heel to the right. The left heel will twist to the right as you touch the right heel in front of the left, etc.

SIDE, TOUCH, TURN, HITCH
1-2 Step right to right side as you square off to center, touch left toe to left side
3-4 Shift weight to left foot & turn one-fourth to right, hitch right knee
On the "hitch", you will bring the right foot next to the left leg just below the knee (passé position)

CROSSING SHUFFLE TURNING ONE-FOURTH RIGHT, STEP FORWARD, SLIDE TOGETHER
5&6 Right shuffle forward turning one-fourth to right (6:00) (right, left, right)
This can also be danced as a "paddle turn" as "cross, ball, change"

&3 Rock step left diagonally back, step right in place (body still angled right)
4&5 Cross step left behind right, step right to right side slightly, step left to left side and angle
        body to left corner
In other words, at the beginning of this section you are rocking toward the corner to your right, then turning on the sailor shuffle to face the corner to your left
&6&7 Cross rock right over left with right heel, step left in place with body angled left, rock
                    step right diagonally back, step left in place
8&1 Cross step right behind left, step left to left side slightly, step right to right side
Again, this is a sailor shuffle that will turn slightly to the right so you will now be aligned with the corner to your right.

SYNCOPATED CHASSE' (SIDE STEPS) TO RIGHT, RIGHT PADDLE TURN TURNING ONE FULL REVOLUTION
2&3 Hold, step left next to right, step right to right side (toe turned out)
4& Hold, step left next to right
5& Step right to right side toe turned out, rock left back with ball of foot
6&7& Repeat 5& two more times
8 Step right to right side toe turned out
This is a paddle turn where one foot stays stationary and the other foot helps propel you around. Think of it as "step, rock, step, rock, step, rock, step" turning a little bit each time until you have turned all the way around in one spot to face the same wall you started on.
