OKAY HERE'S THE DEAL
Great tune, not so great phrasing, but I kept hearing the "Let 'Er Rip"-ish opening & had to give it a go. There are a couple of things to remember, besides the basic step pattern.
When facing front wall the dance will start from the very beginning (BIG DEAL - the side touches) (see note for grand finale).
When facing the back wall, the dance will always start with count 9 (REAL DEAL - omitting the side touches). Execute a left jazz box
with a right touch together on count 56. Omit the last 8 counts of the dance.
After the left jazz box with a right touch together (you will be facing the front wall & about to start the dance from the top, think 2-1-0.
That is the number of turns you will now do before starting the dance again from the front wall.
The first time you end up facing the front wall do the following (after count 56)
2 TURNS
RIGHT FORWARD, 1/2 LEFT PIVOT TURN, X2,
Step right foot forward, make 1/2 pivot left,
Step right foot forward, make 1/2 pivot left to end facing front wall.
The second time you end up facing the front wall do the following (after count 56).
4 TURNS
RIGHT FORWARD, 1/4 LEFT PIVOT TURN, X4
Step forward on right foot, make 1/4 pivot turn left,
Repeat steps 1-2 three more times to end facing front wall.
Start from the beginning of the dance, adding one extra side touch left (just to keep you thinking):
RIGHT SIDE TOUCH, RIGHT CROSS HITCH, RIGHT SIDE TOUCH, HOLD, LEFT SIDE TOUCH,
LEFT CROSS HITCH, LEFT SIDE TOUCH, HOLD
Touch right toes to right side, cross hitch right knee across body,
Touch right toes to right side, hold for one count,
Step right foot together,
Touch left toes to left side, cross hitch left knee across body,
Touch left toes to left side, hold with weight remaining on right foot,
Hold for one count, repeat steps 6-8.
The third time you end up facing the front wall is the start of the grand finale. Think zero. This means NO TURNS, NO Big Deal (side touches) and hopefully NO problems doing this!! Because you will be dropping the Big Deal section altogether, you will end the pattern facing forward with the left jazz box (as per usual) but with your weight ending on RIGHT foot (the big surprise!). Start the dance again from count 9 (Real Deal - omitting the side touches) & dance until you drop (count 36 to be exact).
