NOTE: When I first heard Tom McGraw's "You Got The
Wrong Man" I knew I wanted to write a dance for it. BUT! I could hear nothing in the
rhythm but CHA-CHA. Well, that's OK, 'cept I don't like doing cha-cha at 148 beats per
minute! So I let it just kinda stew for a few weeks and eventually came up with something
close to what became counts 17-24. The idea here is to let the music dictate your styling.
Even when I teach this to my classes I tell them I don't care if they hit the exact steps,
but to take 8 even steps and move with the music.
CROSS, HOLD, TOUCH, HOLD, STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP
1-2 Step right across left, hold
3-4 Touch left back, hold
5 Step back left lifting right foot slightly off floor
6 Step forward right lifting left foot slightly off floor
7 Step back left lifting right foot slightly off floor
8 Step forward right lifting left foot slightly off floor
CROSS, HOLD, TOUCH, HOLD, STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP
9-10 Step left across right, hold
11-12 Touch right toe back, hold
13 Step back right lifting left foot slightly off floor
14 Step forward left lifting right foot slightly off floor
15 Step back right lifting left foot slightly off floor
16 Step forward left lifting right foot slightly off floor
NOTES: The toe touches at 3 and 11:
Lift the trailing foot and touch the toe down right where it was.
Steps 5-8 and 13-16 may be done as rocks for a lower impact alternative.
STEP R, SIDE L, REPLACE R, L BEHIND
17 Small step forward right
18 Side step left on ball of foot with weight remaining centered over right
19 Replace weight on right
20 Step left behind right with weight remaining centered over right
Replace R, side L, replace R, L behind
21 Replace weight on right
22 Side step left on ball of foot with weight remaining centered over right
23-24 Replace weight on right, step left behind right
NOTE: Take small steps with most of the weight on the ball of the foot.
At performance tempos your center of gravity will remain centered over the right foot.
The feeling here is reminiscent (well, to me anyway) of a sailor step.
