SLOW UNWIND, HIP BUMPS | |

29-30 | Keeping feet in place, shift weight forward and at the same time bump hips to right, bump hips right again |
31-32 | Shift weight back and at the same time bump hips to left, bump hips left again (right foot is already forward, step slightly more forward with right foot to start pattern again) |
REPEAT |
In "One Night at a Time" there is a break late in the song, so on the ninth pattern or when facing the beginning wall for the third time, after count 32, in four counts simply rotate hips to the left twice, then continue dance as written. |
This dance works great for more up-tempo songs too. In counts 25-28 keep toes in place and shift heels around a little at a time bumping hips to the left with each shift to make the 1/2 to the right unwind (4 counts), clapping hands on #28. |
