1. Brush Knee Twist Step Left Style-from last week
2. Playing the Fiddle (video below)
Step back into the back stance by turning your waist going from a high position to a low position. Cross the centerline. As your waist releases, your two arms play the fiddle, like the accordion move from Raise Hands and Step Up. This is the same move except your waist releases in a different direction! Think high to low, which makes your right palm go down and your left palm go up! (yeah right) Oh, and use your left heel to balance to move when you are in the back stance.

4.Brush Knee Twist Step Right Style
Roll back to the right side to take the weight off the left side and bring your weight back to the left in order to move your left foot out to a 45 degree angle. Repeat Brush Knee but from the other side.
