1        Small hop to left crossing right over left (right & left hand follows right & left feet optional - head down)
2        Small hop in place uncrossing our legs (head snaps up)
3        Small hop to left crossing right over left (right & left hand follows right & left feet optional - head down)
Counts 1 & 3 should be a collapsing effect (as if you were deflated then inflated)
4        Small hop in place uncrossing our legs (head snaps up)
5-8    Keeping weight on the left, fan right heel in and out 4 times (right hand should move in a fanning motion along with right foot)

½ TURN RIGHT, KICK LEFT, STEP LEFT, POINT RIGHT, STEP RIGHT, KICK LEFT, STEP LEFT, POINT RIGHT, (HEAD SWAY TO LEFT ON COUNTS 4 & 6), KICK RIGHT, STEP BACK RIGHT, STEP BACK LEFT
1        Touch right toe back
2        Turn ½ right (right takes weight)
3&4    Kick left, step left, point right (head sway to left on count 4)
&5&6 Step right, kick left, step left, point right (head sway to left on count 6)
7&8    Kick right, step back right, step back left
Move forward with each kick ball point then strike some kind of pose on counts 4 & 6. Also, on counts 7 & 8 add a very subtle body wave.

STEP RIGHT ¼ RIGHT, STEP LEFT FORWARD, STEP RIGHT 1/8 CROSSING RIGHT OVER LEFT, STEP LEFT 1/8, CROSS RIGHT BEHIND LEFT, UNWIND TO THE RIGHT ½, CROSS LEFT OVER RIGHT, TOUCH RIGHT TO RIGHT SIDE
1        Step right ¼ turn to right
2        Step left forward
3        Step right 1/8 turn to right as you cross right over left (bend knees slightly)
4        Step 1/8 left to left side
5        Cross right behind left
6        Unwind ½ turn to right
7        Cross left over right
8        Touch right slightly to right
Walk with a lot of "bad" attitude. On the cross unwind (½) you can jump out instead of a slow turn.

ROGER RABBITS/MASHED POTATOES (GOING BACK) RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, PIVOT TURN, ¼ TURN LEFT
&1&2    Roger rabbits back right, left (or mashed potatoes going back)
&3&4    Roger rabbits back right, left (or mashed potatoes going back)
5            Step right forward
6            Pivot ½ turn left
7            Hitch right behind left knee (head should be turned downward)
8            Turn ¼ left (should look as if right is pulling left on the ¼ turn, end with feet slightly apart pop head up)
Instead of Roger Rabbits, try traveling mash potatoes going back, or camel walks back, or whatever you think looks cool; on the ¼ turn right pop out on count 8.
