Explain:
* Turn straddle bench bench straddle - - (home) regular
turn straddle home bench 4 counts - then right leg steps up on
home left leg steps up on 1st - right leg steps down in trench
between home and first left leg steps down on outside of
first into a straddle position (8 counts) I teach this by
holding them in a straddle position for 3 reps of 4 counts
then do the bench bench straddle holding them for 3 sets again
until they they the traveling movement.
** Wandering peg leg - I know you've seen this - just like a
chug or peg leg - but you're moving from the bench into
straddle bench then back again.
*** 1 X 1 - cross the top - right leg bench - left leg
floor - right leg straddle - left leg floor same place - cross
the top.
****Top top - - right up - left up same bench - hop across
to other bench right leg - left leg - down right down left
(6 counts)
*****6 Count over and back - got this from here. Step up
diagonally right leg - left leg - right leg down off front
corner - left leg steps back on top going back where you
started - right leg back on top left back to floor on 6 - 7
and 8 is either march, march, or hop, hop or mambo behind.
I don't submit much duo step choreography because it's
soooooo difficult to explain. Please email with questions. I'm
sure you'll have some. Have fun with this - I love duo
stepping.
