MUSIC:"LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE" (103 bpm) by
Clay Walker on "Live, Laugh, Love" CD.
Start with the words. There is a perfect
place to cut the music at 3:09
before the 4-count phrase break during
the 9th wall...or...dance through it with
little problem.
SIDE-ROCK-FORWARD 4 TIMES (There are "L"
shapes throughout the dance.)
&1-2 Step R to right side, Rock sideways
onto L, Step R forward
&3-4 Step L to left side, Rock sideways
onto R, Step L forward
&5-6, &7-8 Repeat &1-2, &3-4
FORWARD, ROCK/TURN, SHUFFLE, TOPS TURN
360o (2 modified Montereys)
9 Step R forward
10 Rock back onto L turning 1/2 right (
6:00)
11&12 Shuffle forward on R-L-R
13-16 Preliminary notes. A "Tops Turn"
is like 2 Half Monterey
Turns, but we add toe sweeps, giving the
move a unique effect: visually you
will resemble a spinning top!
Allow the sweeping toe to turn your body.
It is important to bend the
supporting leg at counts 13 and 15.
13 Bend R knee and Sweep L toe from left
side in a half circle forward and
right turning 1/2 right (12:00)
14 Step L beside R. Straighten the R knee
gradually from 13 ("down") to 14
("up").
15 Bend L knee and Sweep R toe from right
side in a half circle (from beside
L) out to right side and then back turning
1/2 right. R toe may start this
sweep slightly forward. ( 6:00)
16 Step R beside L. Straighten L knee gradually
from 15 ("down") to 16
("up").

End of pattern. Begin again...
In any one-wall dance, the pattern should
return us to the same spot at
which we started.
The choreography here has been designed
to do that without effort.
Thanks to Fay Son-Hing for the idea for
the title of this dance.
