Please let me know more about this dance! I do not know its choreographer.
The entire dance is done facing inward, not holding hands.
Each numbered step takes four beats of music.
Part A
- Mayim L (starting with R foot crossing in front of left foot)
- Sway R-L-R-L with hopping shifts of weight
[repeat]Part B
- Step to the side with R, bring L foot in front of right foot, step to the side with R, bring L foot behind right foot (also called an "open Mayim R")
- Three-count turn over right shoulder, cross L foot in front of right foot
- Return weight to R foot, sidestep L, cross R foot in front of left foot, return weight to L foot
- Sway R-L-R-L with hopping shifts of weight
[repeat]
When done to its original tune this dance had Part A repeat four times instead of twice. When used as an interchangeable, follow the verse and chorus of the song.
Notice in Part B there is a "coupé R, coupé L" spread across two different 4-count segments.
The only variation I have seen is replacing the first four counts of Part B with hopping sideways: do a hopping-sidestep R, bring L foot to right foot, hopping-sidestep R, bring L foot to right foot.
