PERFORMANCE STEPS AND NOTES FOR "HONKY TONK ATTITUDE":
"Honky Tonk Attitude" begins with a triplet-based chord scale, and this
break is used at the end of each chorus during the song. Technically,
it is composed of triplets superimposed on the 4/4 rhythm. From a
counting perspective, it's easier to just count the 12 triplet beats
as though the rhythm of the song actually changes.
The chorus occurs three times in the song. When each chorus begins, the
dance is also beginning. Perform sections A, B, and C, and then perform
sections D1 and D2. When you complete section D2, you will be facing
the 6:00 wall. Start the dance over again from this point.
START HERE AFTER COMPLETING SECTION C FOR THE "Honky Tonk"
CHORUS
D1. "ATTITUDE" WALK (4/4 TIME)
25-28 Walk forward with attitude! Left, Right, Left, Right
D2. STOMP FORWARD, HIP BUMPS, HOLD, HIP BUMPS, HOLD, ROCK (TRIPLETS)
29 Stomp Left slightly forward with feet shoulder width apart
30 Bump hips Right
31 Bump hips Left
32 Bump hips Right
33 Hold
34 Hold
35 Hold
36 Bump hips Left
37 Bump hips Right
38 Bump hips Left
39 Hold
40 Rock in place Right
NOTE: This is a tricky section to count and call out. I recommend
"Stomp, hip, hip, hip, (hold, hold, hold) hip, hip, hip,
(hold) rock." Or, try "Stomp, right, left, right, (hold, hold,
hold) left, right, left, (hold) right." If you bump your hips
in time with the guitar riffs, you're there!
BEGIN DANCE AGAIN WITH NEW WALL AT 12:00!
