| RIGHT CROSS BALL CHANGE, CROSS TOUCH, HOLD |
| (MOVING SLIGHTLY FORWARD) |
| This pattern of 8 is written in basic line dance form. The styling should be as follows: |
| The ball change on counts "&2" is done outside shoulder width with left leg extended and |
| may feel like a rock or push step. The right leg (support leg) is bent. The weight stays |
| centered over the hips. The right cross touch on counts "&3" have similar feel. Bend both |
| knees on the right cross. On count 3, the left leg (support leg) is bent, and the right leg and |
| toe are extended to the right. Think of balancing a book on your head under a low ceiling. |
| Stay low and do not bounce with the ball change moves. |
| 1&2 | | R step cross on forward diagonal over left, L step to left onto ball of L foot, |
| | R step slightly back |
| &3-4 | | L step cross on forward diagonal over right, R touch to side, hold |
| 5-8 | | Repeat 1-4 |
|

| | for the 1/2 turn on the next 2 cts.) |
| 1-2 | | 1/2 turn right on ball of left foot (lifting right knee and placing right foot |
| | beside knee) This two count turn is done in releve to give the feeling of being |
| | "suspended" in air) |
| &3-4 | | R foot step slightly back, L cross over right ("&3" gives the feeling of a lowering |
| | action after the turn in releve), R touch to right |
