Choreographed by Marg Jones, River John, NS Canada (902) 351 -3265    http://dancewithmarg.tripod.com
1-wall, 32-count, Beginner Line Dance
Music: "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" by Shania Twain(116);"Love Gets Me Every Time" by Shania Twain (120);"I'm From the Country" by Tracy Byrd(130)
This dance is fun done contra style, two lines facing. When you do the walk forward and kick , slap hands with the two people facing you on either side.

I always teach this dance on the very first night of a beginner session.  The dancers particularly enjoy it done contra style,  and there's lots of "whooping" on the kick with hand slaps.  After a few weeks, I suggest they can do 4 turning triple (polka) steps to the last 8 counts, to make it more challenging.
