Charlie's Shake
Choreographer: Ms. Charlie Milne 7/97
32 count; 4 wall; beginner
Music: I Feel Lucky/ Mary Chapin Carpenter
My Heart Has A History/ Paul Brandt
The Shake/ Neal McCoy***
*** When dancing to "The Shake", repeat counts 1-8 when you are facing
the back wall the 2nd and 3rd time (at the start of the 7th and 11th rotations).
This will allow you to "Shake it to the left" and "Shake it to the right",
"Shake it real funky" and "Shake it real low" when Neal tells you to!
