This movement is part of the Shambling Shimmies Level 2 vocabulary, it is an add-on to the end of the Ghawazee Combo learned in Level 1.
Classification:Â Fast
Basic Cue:
At least 1 8 count of Ghawazee Step turning between 45 and 90 degrees to left. On the 8 count immediately before you want to begin the turn YIP on 7 (this will be on your R leg) to indicate the turns will begin on the following downbeat (the 1 of the next 8 count).
Variations:
In Level 2, this will always be a combo addition to the Ghawazee combo (following the half turns), never cued by itself and will always be 8 counts long (4 turns). In higher levels, the move will be able to be cued by itself for any number of turns (within reason).
Zills/Timing (Level 2):
Timing – 8 count move not including the cue – 4 turns
The full Ghawazee combo including the spot turn is a minimum of 64 counts (16 measures)
Zill Pattern – Standard longa/gallop pattern OR optional R zill only on each “spot†of the move. (this option may be easier when first starting to spin)
