This is probably the simplist line dance you can learn. It was the
first I learnt. The trick with this dance, to stop it getting boring,
is to be imaginative and vary the steps. Complete turns on the
vines, fancy footwork, anything you like as long as you keep to the
beat and stay in line with everyone else. The touches can be
replaced with scuffs, hitches or whatever else you like.

The Australian version of the dance is a 20-count dance called Elvira.
Just before the 1/4 turn at the end there are two rock-steps.

1-4   Vine RIGHT (R,L,R,L) with a touch on the final step,
4-8   Vine LEFT (L,R,L,R) with a touch on the final step,
9-12  Step backwards (R,L,R,L) with a touch on the final step,
13-16 Step forward with LEFT and touch with RIGHT
      Step back with RIGHT and touch with LEFT
17-18 Step forwards on LEFT, touch RIGHT and 1/4 turn to LEFT

Repeat


In all it's step by step detail ....
