  • The Good Life

    Inlägg i: G, Stegbeskrivning, T  |  Av Wanda Pawlak  |  24 september 2013, 10:06

    The Good Life

    Count:  32

    Wall:  2

    Level:  Intermediate / Advanced

    Choreographer:  Rachael McEnaney (UK) Aug 2013

    Music:  “The Good Life” – Robin Thicke. Album: Blurred Lines (iTunes) Approx 3.13mins

    Count In: 16 counts from start of track, dance begins on vocals. Approx 104bpm.
     
    Notes: 1 Tag at the end of the 1st wall – Right backwards rocking chair (1,2,3,4)
     
    You will notice on the counts that I have included ‘a’ as a count, if you haven’t heard of this before here is a brief explanation.
     
    When we count in dance it really could be ‘1 e & a 2 e & a 3’ etc, in this particular track you are stepping on the ‘a’ count which is just after ‘&’, the easiest place in the dance to understand this is section 18-24 on the cross side rock as you are using both ’&’ and ’a’.
     
    If you are an instructor this might confuse some of your students, so I wouldn’t place too much emphasis on it, they should dance on rhythm once they hear the song.
     

    1 – 8

    R back, L coaster step, ¼ turn L hitch R, R cross, L cross, ¾ turn L stepping R-L, ¼ L with R scissor step
    1 2 a 3 Step back on right (1), step back on left (2), step right next to left (a), step forward on left (3), 12.00
    & 4 Make ¼ turn left on ball of left hitching right knee (& – this is not a strong hitch just a transition into next step), cross right over left (4) 9.00
    & 5 Hitch left knee (& – not a strong hitch just transition to next step), cross left over right (5), 9.00
    6 a 7 a 8 Make ¼ turn left stepping back on right (6), make ½ turn left stepping forward on left (a), make ¼ turn left stepping right to right side (7), step left next to right (a), cross right over left (8) 9.00
