Dance: Austin Song: Austin Artist: Blake Shelton Album: Blake Shelton Choreography & copyright: Paul Snooke, Samantha Dixon & Kelvin Dale 10/2001 Level: Upper-Intermediate Walls: 2 Count: 32/64 Bridge/restart: one bridge Dance Beat: (depends on count, slow with 64 counts) Start: Feet together, weight on left foot Note: While this dance is given as a 64 count dance, it can also be done as a 32 count dance (halving the b/m of the dance, removing the holds and adding syncopation). I found it easier to memorise the dance as a 32 count dance and the choreographers are, as yet, undecided - they taught the dance using both 64 and 32 counts. I am including both the 64 and 32 count versions of the dance below. 64-count version: **************** * Rock, hold, replace, together, rock, hold, replace, together: 1- 4 Rock/step RIGHT to RIGHT side, hold, replace weight onto LEFT, step RIGHT beside LEFT, 5- 8 Rock/step LEFT to LEFT side, hold, replace weight onto RIGHT, step LEFT beside RIGHT, * Cross, side, back, hold, rock, side, cross, 1/4 turn: 9-12 Cross RIGHT over LEFT, step LEFT to LEFT side, step RIGHT back, hold, 13-16 Rock LEFT forward, step RIGHT to RIGHT side, cross LEFT behind RIGHT, 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT forward, * Step, slow 1/2 pivot, together, step, hold, rock, together: 17-20 Step LEFT forward, slow 1/2 pivot turn RIGHT (weight on RIGHT), step LEFT beside RIGHT, 21-24 Step RIGHT forward, hold, rock LEFT back, step RIGHT beside LEFT, * Back, drag, back, together, rocking-horse: 25-28 Step LEFT back, drag RIGHT towards LEFT, step RIGHT back, step LEFT beside RIGHT, 29-32 Rock RIGHT forward, rock back on LEFT, rock RIGHT back, rock LEFT forward, * Step, sweep, step, sweep, step, together, back, sweep: 33-36 Step RIGHT forward, sweep LEFT around in front of RIGHT, step LEFT forward, sweep RIGHT around in front of LEFT, 37-40 Step RIGHT forward, step LEFT beside RIGHT, step RIGHT back, sweep LEFT around behind RIGHT, * Back, sweep, back, sweep, back, together, 1/4 turn, hold: 41-44 Step LEFT back, sweep RIGHT around behind LEFT, step RIGHT back, sweep LEFT around behind RIGHT, 45-48 Step LEFT back, step RIGHT beside LEFT, make 1/4 turn LEFT & step LEFT forward, hold, * Vine & full turn & hold, vine & full turn: 49-52 Make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT forward, make 1/2 turn RIGHT & step LEFT back, make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT to RIGHT side, hold, 53-56 Make 1/4 turn LEFT & step LEFT forward, make 1/2 turn LEFT & step RIGHT back, make 1/4 turn LEFT & step LEFT to LEFT side, step RIGHT beside LEFT, * Step, hips fwd, back, fwd, back, fwd, hold, back, step together: 57-60 Step LEFT forward & bump/push hips forward, push hips back, push hips forward, push hips back, 61-64 Push hips forward, hold, push hips back, step LEFT beside RIGHT.
