Dance: Mony Mony Song: Mony Mony Artist: Dean Brothers Album: Kiss Me Honey, Honey Choreography & copyright: Maggie Gallagher; 8/2001 http://www.maggieg.co.uk Level: Intermediate Walls: 1 Count: 128 Bridge/restart: no Dance Beat: 142 b/m Start: Feet together, weight on left foot Note: The original dancesheet has a 2-part phrased dance, however the sequence is ABABAB.. etc, ie: the dance as danced is not phrased. I have excluded the redundant phrasing in the sheet below tho' note that the first 80 counts always fall on the verse and counts 81-128 always fall on the chorus. Despite the number of counts it's not a hard dance and there is a lot of repetition. This dance was also the most popular dance at Tamworth 2002. * Step, step, point, cross, point, cross, rock replace: 1- 2 Step RIGHT forward, step LEFT forward, 3- 4 Point RIGHT to RIGHT side, cross RIGHT over LEFT, 5- 6 Point LEFT to LEFT side, cross LEFT over RIGHT, 7- 8 Rock/step forward on RIGHT, recover weight onto LEFT, * 1/4 turn, clap-clap-clap, &together-side, &together-side, clap-clap-clap, hold: 9 Make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT to RIGHT side, 10&11 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, &12 Step LEFT together (on &), step RIGHT to RIGHT side, &13 Step LEFT together (on &), step RIGHT to RIGHT side, 14&15 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, 16 Hold, * Rock replace, 1/2 turn & shuffle, rock replace, 1/2 turn & shuffle: 17-18 Rock forward on LEFT, recover weight onto RIGHT, 19&20 Triple step (L,R,L) & 1/2 turn LEFT, 21-22 Rock forward on RIGHT, recover weight onto LEFT, 23&24 Triple step (R,L,R) & 1/2 turn RIGHT, * Side, clap-clap-clap, &together-side, &together-side, clap-clap-clap, hold: 25 Stomp LEFT to LEFT side, 26&27 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, &28 Step RIGHT together (on &), step LEFT to LEFT side, &29 Step RIGHT together (on &), step LEFT to LEFT side, 30&31 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, 32 Hold, * Step, step, point, cross, point, cross, rock replace: 33-34 Step RIGHT forward, step LEFT forward, 35-36 Point RIGHT to RIGHT side, cross RIGHT over LEFT, 37-38 Point LEFT to LEFT side, cross LEFT over RIGHT, 39-40 Rock/step forward on RIGHT, recover weight onto LEFT, * 1/4 turn, clap-clap-clap, &together-side, &together-side, clap-clap-clap, hold: 41 Make 1/4 turn RIGHT & step RIGHT to RIGHT side, 42&43 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, &44 Step LEFT together (on &), step RIGHT to RIGHT side, &45 Step LEFT together (on &), step RIGHT to RIGHT side, 46&47 Clap hands, clap hands (on &), clap hands, 48 Hold, * Rock replace, 1/2 turn & shuffle, rock replace, 1/2 turn & shuffle: 49-50 Rock forward on LEFT, recover weight onto RIGHT, 51&52 Triple step (L,R,L) & 1/2 turn LEFT, 53-54 Rock forward on RIGHT, recover weight onto LEFT, 55&56 Triple step (R,L,R) & 1/2 turn RIGHT, * Step, together, step, touch, step, touch, step, touch: 57-58 Step LEFT diagonally forward to LEFT, step RIGHT together, 59-60 Step LEFT diagonally forward to LEFT, touch RIGHT together, 61-62 Step RIGHT diagonally forward RIGHT, touch LEFT together, 63-64 Step LEFT diagonally forward to LEFT, touch RIGHT together, * Side toe-strut, side toe strut & 1/2 turn 3 times: 65-66 Touch RIGHT toe to side, drop heel to take weight, 67-68 Make 1/2 turn RIGHT & touch LEFT toe to side, drop heel to take weight, 69-70 Make 1/2 turn LEFT & touch RIGHT toe to side, drop heel to take weight, 71-72 Make 1/2 turn RIGHT & touch LEFT toe to side, drop heel to take weight, [Option Note: Do "Hairbrushes" with finger clicks (like in the 60's) on the "Yeahs"] * Full military turn yelling "Yeah!
