| NOTE: When I first heard Tom McGraw's "You Got The Wrong Man" I knew I wanted to write |
| a dance for it. BUT! I could hear nothing in the rhythm but CHA-CHA. Well, that's OK, 'cept I |
| don't like doing cha-cha at 148 beats per minute! So I let it just kinda stew for a few weeks |
| and eventually came up with something close to what became counts 17-24. The idea here is |
| to let the music dictate your styling. Even when I teach this to my classes I tell them I don't |
| care if they hit the exact steps, but to take 8 even steps and move with the music. |
|
| CROSS, HOLD, TOUCH, HOLD, STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP |
| 1-2 | | Step right across left, hold |
| 3-4 | | Touch left back, hold |
| 5 | | Step back left lifting right foot slightly off floor |
| 6 | | Step forward right lifting left foot slightly off floor |
| 7 | | Step back left lifting right foot slightly off floor |
| 8 | | Step forward right lifting left foot slightly off floor |
|
| CROSS, HOLD, TOUCH, HOLD, STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP |
| 9-10 | | Step left across right, hold |
| 11-12 | | Touch right toe back, hold |
| 13 | | Step back right lifting left foot slightly off floor |
| 14 | | Step forward left lifting right foot slightly off floor |
| 15 | | Step back right lifting left foot slightly off floor |
| 16 | | Step forward left lifting right foot slightly off floor |
|
| NOTES: The toe touches at 3 and 11: |
| Lift the trailing foot and touch the toe down right where it was. |
| Steps 5-8 and 13-16 may be done as rocks for a lower impact alternative. |

|
| STEP R, SIDE L, REPLACE R, L BEHIND |
| 17 | | Small step forward right |
| 18 | | Side step left on ball of foot with weight remaining centered over right |
| 19 | | Replace weight on right |
| 20 | | Step left behind right with weight remaining centered over right |
| | Replace R, side L, replace R, L behind |
| 21 | | Replace weight on right |
| 22 | | Side step left on ball of foot with weight remaining centered over right |
| 23-24 | | Replace weight on right, step left behind right |
|
| NOTE: Take small steps with most of the weight on the ball of the foot. |
| At performance tempos your center of gravity will remain centered over the right foot. |
| The feeling here is reminiscent (well, to me anyway) of a sailor step. |
