JUSTIN TYME CHOREOGRAPHER: Don Kaneski COUNT: 32 TYPE: 4 Wall line dance MUSIC: Even If I Tried by Emilio Don't Make Me Come to Tulsa by Wade Hayes Down In Muddy Water by Brother Phelps (If You’re Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here by Shania Twain Choreographer’s Note: This dance was first named "Mustang Sally", then I found a dance on the west coast by the same name. Then I renamed it "Muddy Water" because it went so well with that song. Then I found a dance on the east coast by that name. So much for naming dances after songs. I then decided to name it "Justin Tyme". . . because its phrased "just in time" with a whole lot of music. One night after having pushed my dancers a little harder than normal (intermediate to advanced class), one of my students in the middle of the dance, and obviously tired, yelled out, "You know why I like this dance? . . . once you learn it, you don't have to think about the steps". I was then tempted to rename the dance "Mindless". This is an easy dance. Its a good one for beginners who are ready for more challenging steps.

He's going to weave back and forth until he gets his legs back. Some instructors explain the step as though the sailor is drunk, but if you'd been rocking back and forth for months at sea you'd walk the same way. Sway your body with the steps and don't take real large steps sideways. 13 Kick left foot forward 14 Kick left foot out to the left side 15&16 Step left foot behind the right, step right foot side right, step left foot side left FUNKY WALK BACK (ROGER RABBIT), STEP-BRUSH-SCOOT-STEP 17 Swing or sweep right foot out in a circle and step behind left 18 Swing or sweep left foot out in a circle and step behind right 19&20 Swing or sweep right foot out and behind left, rock forward on left, rock back on right 21 Step left foot forward 22 Brush right past left into a hitch position 23 With right still in hitch position scoot forward on left foot 24 Step right foot forward STEP TURNS AND MODIFIED JAZZ BOX 25 Step left foot forward and turn 1/2 right 26 Step in place on right foot 27 Step left foot forward and turn 1/4 right 28 Step in place on right foot 29 Cross and step left foot over right 30 Step right foot back 31 Step left foot side left 32 Touch or tap right foot next to left and clap REPEAT
