One dance move a day, written out in counts.

Rock step forward

A little forward-and-back rock. One foot reaches out, the other foot never moves, and you finish right where you began.

swing and line dance ยท 2 counts

The counts

CountStep
1step forward on the right foot and let your weight go onto it
2shift your weight back onto the left foot, which stays where it is

Tips

Styling
Let your knees soften a touch on count 1 so the rock looks relaxed, not stiff.
Easier
Make the forward step tiny, just a few inches, until the rhythm feels natural.
The other way
Start with the left foot instead, rocking forward on the left and back onto the right.

Go at your own pace. Skip any step you'd rather not do.
