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)
