Music: This stroll is generally done to Easy does it by Count Basie. If you'd like a copy of this track or find out where to get a copy just contact us.

First Step: Grooves.

Step right, tap left, Step left, tap right (One count per step or tap)

This completes the first bar.

Third Step: Boogie Forward

Starting on the right foot. Boogie/step right down, left down, right down, left down. (two counts per step down - 1 bar)

Remember this starts half way through the last bar and finishes half way through the next. Don't ask why !!!

Fourth Step: Boogie Back.

Simply jump back, then clap, four times. (One count per jump or clap - 1 bar)

Again, this starts half way through the last bar and finishes half way through the next. !

Fifth Step: The slide.

For this step we turn 1/4 turn anti-clockwise and slide sideways to the right. Whilst this looks best sliding on the heels, you can slide flat footed too or worst case simply step to the right. (4 counts for slide - 1/2 bar)

You should repeat the above five steps 6 times, then the music changes for 2 bars. At this point do the step below, then continue repeating the above till the end of the track.
