SLOW UNWIND, HIP BUMPS |
| 25-28 |
In four counts slowly unwind 1/2 turn

Keeping feet in place, shift weight forward
and at the same time bump hips to right, bump hips right again |
| 31-32 |
Shift weight back and at the same time bump
hips to left, bump hips left again (right foot is already forward, step slightly more
forward with right foot to start pattern again) |
| |
REPEAT |
| Note: |
In "One Night at a Time" there is a
break late in the song, so on the ninth pattern or when facing the beginning wall for the
third time, after count 32, in four counts simply rotate hips counterclockwise twice, then
continue dance as written. |
| |
This dance works great for more up tempo songs
too. In counts 25-28 keep toes in place and shift heels around a little at a time bumping
hips to the left with each shift to make the 1/2 clockwise unwind (4 counts), clapping
hands on #28. |
