Cowboy Calypso
Choreographed By Bill Marcontell (407) 239-3495
Description 56 count, Beginner/Intermediate, Two-Wall Line Dance
This dance presents a combination of Country / Western and Calypso. The practice song gives dancers a
chance to clap hands on the fourth beat of the hip wiggles & is it a slightly faster beat than the dance
song. "Jump In The Line" seems to go quite well with the steps and gives dancers a chance
to get a feeling of Calypso Rhythm
Music: "Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd (slow teach);
"Don Juan D'Bubba" - Hank Williams, Jr. (Medium practice);
"Jump In the Line" - Harry Belafonte (medium dance)
