Variations: Turns may be performed during the vine steps and three steps backwards.
Extra turns can also be added to existing turns. The variations of the
dance goes with the tempos in which the dance is performed to.
See Suggested Dance Style.

Suggested Dance Style: As the title of the dance suggested, in this dance
you are "Bustin' Out" of the normal realm of  line dances that suggest that
you perform in a certain way. When performing Bustin' Out to slower tempos
(i.e. Cow Cow Boogie- 108 BPM),  keep the laid back 'western' line dance
style foremost and expressed. When performing to jazzier tempos
(i.e. Ghost Busters- 120 BPM), express the 'Ghost Buster' style with arched
back and hyper-extended legs during the heel touches. And when performing to
faster tempos (i.e. Boot Scootin' Boogie/Cheatin' Heart- 132 BPM),
just performing the steps at that tempo will be challenging enough,
the funkier the music the better. Keep knees bent, express the heel touches
and keep the scoots and turns quick and sharp.

Comments: Bustin' Out was originally named Ghost Bustin', but the name was
changed because the dance can be performed to a variety of songs and tempos
and should be performed year round and not just at Halloween.
