SURFS UP

CHOREOGRAPHER: William 'The Silver Surfer' Sevone (July 31st 2007)
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Surfin USA by The Beach Boys-158 bpm (many compilations)

Choreographer's note: If you take this dance seriously - chill out... there isn't anything
serious about this dance other than trying to complete it without falling off your board???.
The dance starts with the Intro, the dancer then takes up the Surfer position at the same time
starting the main dance - sounds complicated ?.... Noooooo way.. there are more words on this
script than moves. In this case the tempo and some of the more ...err.. unusual moves dictated
the actual level of the dance.

Always remember - 'The beat may reach your feet - but the rhythm should electrify your soul'
Dance starts with the very quick guitar intro... main dance start on the vocals

INTRO: (vision - small stretch of sand.. board under your arm - the blue water beyond..)
As the guitar comes in, take 6 very small running steps forward - and 'jump'
(step forward) onto your board

Assume the SURFER POSITION: Stepping forward onto left with knees slightly bent, Head,
left foot and arm forward, right foot and upper body toward 3:00, right arm pointing backward.

The dancer will assume this position at the start of EVERY new wall (on count 1).
It doesn't matter if it runs into the start of the dance - that's all part of the fun.

THE SURFER POSITION - WIGGLE HIPS. ALL CHANGE. THE SURFER POSITION - WIGGLE HIPS (12:00)

1-4	Step forward onto left and wiggle hips and body - keeping your balance on 'the board'
&	Jump up and turn to reverse foot/arm positions (right arm/foot lead) -
	that 'board' can be slippery
5-8	Bump/wiggle hips as 1-4
	Option:	Count &: Turn on ball of left foot - though the jump does look better

FACE FORWARD-PUMP ARMS. ALL CHANGE. PUMP ARMS (6:00)

&	Knees still bent - turn to face forward (12) stepping left to left side (feet apart)
9-12 	'Pump' arms up and down: Left up/Right down - Right up/Left down (repeat)
&	Jump up and turn 1/2 right - landing as start of section
13-16	Continue 'Pumping' arms up and down as 9-12

3X CROSS TOUCH-TOGETHER. BEHIND. UNWIND 1/2 RIGHT (12:00)

17-18	(leaning left) Touch left toe across right foot, (straighten up) Step left next to right
19-20	(leaning right) Touch right toe across left foot, (straighten up) Step right next to left
21-22	(leaning left) Touch left toe across right foot, (straighten up) Step left next to right
23-24	Step right behind left, Unwind 1/2 right (weight on right)

CROSS SHUFFLE. 2X SIDE ROCK-RECOVER. CROSS SHUFFLE WITH 1/4 LEFT (9:00)

25&26	Cross shuffle right stepping  Left, Right, Left
27-28	Rock right to right, Recover onto left
29-30	Rock right to right, Recover onto left
31&32	Cross shuffle left stepping Right, Left, Right turning to face 9:00 for count 1

REMEMBER: As you step forward on count 1 - you should be 'READY TO SURRRRRRRF'
